I found this recipe on "My Kitchen Cafe". Aside from the fact that I obviously have no idea how to carve a ham, I thought that for my very first attempt at cooking one, it turned out pretty good. I was a little grossed out at the thought of cooking a ham in the crock pot for some reason but, it was super easy and now, I will probably never try it any other way.
Maple Brown Sugar Ham in the Slow Cooker
adapted slightly from Year of Crockpotting
7-8 pound bone-in spiral-cut ham
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup all natural maple syrup (yes, please use pure maple syrup and not pancake syrup)
2 cups pineapple juice
Use a 6-7 quart slow cooker. Unwrap the ham and discard flavor packet. Place the ham into the slow cooker stoneware, flat-side down. Rub brown sugar on all sides. Pour on maple syrup and pineapple juice. Cover and cook on low for 4-5 hours. An hour before serving, baste ham with the collected juices from the bottom of the slow cooker. When cooking is done, remove carefully and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 minutes before carving.
