Brown Sugar Pineapple Ham
Description
This recipe involves placing a dry ham in the slow cooker, then topping it with crushed pineapple and a brown sugar mixture blended with cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger. The mixture acts as a glaze, slowly permeating the ham during the low-temperature three-hour cooking process. The pineapple juice helps keep the ham moist and contributes sweetness, while the spices add a warm aromatic character.
The finished ham has a caramelized outer layer from the sugar and pineapple, contrasting with the savory meat inside. This dish works well as a centerpiece for a casual meal or holiday setting where sweet and spiced flavors complement the ham’s salty profile.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ham
- 1 ounce pineapple crushed, canned
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Instructions
- Add the ham to the slow cooker and pat dry with paper towels.
- Pour over half the can of the crushed pineapple.
- Mix the brown sugar with the spices and add it over the ham.
- Reserve the rest of the pineapple for topping when the ham is served.
- Cook on low for three hours.
