Crock Pot Sweet and Sour Ham image

I had a Farmland ham that was already cubed so I thew a little of this and a little of that together. It was good, but I think I'd like to try it again with shrimp!

Provided by boy named Sous

Categories     Ham

Time 5h20m

Yield 1 cup per person (approx), 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups cooked ham, cubed
6 carrots, thickly sliced
1 green pepper
1/2 onion
3 stalks celery
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce, Yashida's
1 -2 cup chicken broth
1 teaspoon ginger, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 -2 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 (20 ounce) cans pineapple chunks in juice (juice reserved)
1/4 cup cornstarch

Steps:

  • I used a 7 qt crock pot and fed 9 people with about 4 cups leftover.
  • You might want to half the recipe.
  • Combine all ingredients including pineapple juice, but NOT the pineapple or cornstarch yet.
  • Cook on low 5 hours.
  • Add cornstarch - ( all if very liquid ) and the pineapple.
  • Cook for an additional 1 or 2 hours. I "cooked" for 6 hour total, but after all cooking was done I had it on warm for another 2 hours. I started way too early and misjudged how long it would take to cook.
  • The ham made a kind of smoky tasting sweet and sour sauce, but it was good. I served it with rice on a busy school night and except for one teenage dweeb who eats nothing but hamburgers, they all liked it.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ham: For best results, select a bone-in ham that weighs between 8 and 10 pounds. A smaller ham will cook more quickly, while a larger ham will take longer.
  • Prepare the ham: Before cooking, remove the ham from its packaging and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Pat the ham dry with paper towels.
  • Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful ham.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Mix well.
  • Glaze the ham: Brush the ham with the glaze all over. Be sure to get the glaze into all the nooks and crannies of the ham.
  • Cook the ham: Place the ham in the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
