Ingredients
  

Ham and Pineapple
  • 1 lb spiral-sliced ham about 7–9 lb
  • 1 can pineapple rings drained
  • 8 whole whole cloves for studding the ham
Glaze
  • 120 g brown sugar for sweetness
  • 60 ml honey adds a rich flavor
  • 60 ml ketchup for tanginess
  • 1 tbsp yellow mustard adds a bit of heat
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon adds warm spice
  • 0.5 tsp ground cloves enhances the flavor

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

  1. Place the spiral ham cut-side down in the slow cooker. Arrange pineapple rings around and on top of the ham, then insert whole cloves into the ham.
  2. Mix brown sugar, honey, ketchup, mustard, cinnamon, and ground cloves until smooth. Pour and brush the glaze generously over the ham.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 4–5 hours, basting with the juices every hour, until the ham is heated through and glossy.
  4. Carefully transfer the ham to a platter, spoon the glaze over the top, and arrange the pineapple rings around it. Let rest for 10–15 minutes, then slice and serve warm.

Notes

Spiral hams are already cooked, so you're mainly reheating them and letting the glaze soak into the slices. Serve with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
