Now I have a question about ham in the crockpot.

Thanks for your tips regarding the pork roast.  Shoo, next time I have a plain one I am going to try the apple juice.

If anyone wants to try it, it was a hormel BBQ rubbed roast and it was divine.

So today I got a ham and 2 large cans of crushed pineapple.  Yay or nay?

We are just so busy at this time of year, I need to reduce stress and meals is a huge stress!

What kind of ham is it? Canned ham? Ham on a bone? Pre-cooked? Smoked? Raw?

eta: (sorry, hit post before this question) Do you plan on putting the ham in the crock pot in the morning cooking all-day (8hrs) for dinner at night?

It's a bone in ham.  That shrink wrapped kind.

Hmmmm. I love ham. But I never thought about cooking it in a crock-pot before. So I got curious and did me some research on this wonderful thing called the internet.

I'm really like this idea. I'm going to have to try it. Thanks for asking this question.

One site I found:

talks about the different cuts of bone-in.


I'm betting you could add the pineapple juice while cooking during the day and then add the fruit to warm when you get home from work before serving.



Like I said, I've never done this before, but it sounds delich!

I have cooked it in the oven with pineapple before.  You have never tasted anything so good!  lol.

I am hoping to get 3 meals out of the ham, but may not happen.  With the leftovers, I will make ham and beans in the crockpot and hopefully if enough leftovers, split pea soup.

Thanks for the link.  I will coat it with crushed pineapple/brown sugar.  CRUD MONKEYS!, my mouth is watering!

It sounds like you have my mother's recipe.  She would take a lousy canned ham, use pineapple slices and brown sugar and cook it until turned into a divine combination of sweet and savory.
