SLOW COOKER HAM

Steps:

• Spread about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar on the bottom of the slow cooker crock. Place the ham flat side down into the slow cooker - you might have to trim it a little to make it fit. Use your hands to rub the remaining brown sugar onto the ham. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 hours.

SLOW COOKER PICNIC HAM RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the ham and liquid in the slow cooker. Cook one hour on high. This will get the temperature of the slow cooker high enough to thoroughly cook the ham. Turn the slow cooker temperature to low and cook for six to eight hours. The picnic ham is fully cooked when its internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the ham from the slow cooker and set it on a platter on the counter. Cover it lightly with aluminum foil. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes. It is now ready to serve.

CHRISTMAS HAM IN THE SLOW COOKER

Steps:

• Use a 6-quart slow cooker. Unwrap the ham, and discard the flavor packet. Place the ham into your insert (flat side down).
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, mustard, ginger, cloves, and cinnamon. Smear this paste evenly all over the ham. You can even do this the day before, if you'd like, to let the flavors meld, although it isn't necessary.
• Pour the juice and add the last little bit with the pulp into the sauce bowl and swirl it around to get all of the "good stuff" out of the bowl. Pour ginger ale evenly over the top. Cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 3 hours. (If using using spiral cut ham without the bone, it's better to cook it no more than 6 hours).
• Your ham can sit in the slow cooker for quite a while on the warm setting before carving, or you can take it out, carve it into pieces, then return it to the pot to stay warm in the yummy sauce until you and your guests are ready to eat.
