This is something new we tried for Thanksgiving this year, instead of making a turkey. We decided to use the slow cooker to free up the oven for side dishes. It takes only 5 minutes to prep and then the slow cooker does all the work. The ham turned out incredibly tender and moist! We'll likely be making this rather than turkey for years to come honestly, as everyone loved it.

Steps

1

Lightly grease the slow cooker (6 quart or larger). Place the ham in it and rub the brown sugar all over the ham.
2

Drizzle the honey and the pineapple juice over the ham, then arrange the pineapple slices atop it...use toothpicks to hold them in place.
3

If using the cherries, use toothpicks to hold them in place arranged around the pineapple slices. Drizzle a couple of tablespoons of the cherry juice atop the ham.
4

Cook on low for 4-6 hours. Baste the ham with the juices in the pot every hour or so.
5

Once ready, remove the toothpicks, pineapple and cherries. Place the ham on a cutting board and allow it to rest for 15 minutes, then slice and serve immediately. Refrigerate any leftovers.

I love to bake and to try out new recipes! I'm always on the lookout for simple dinners for busy weeknights. A lot of the recipes I post on here are ones I've found on Pinterest or from different bloggers, and that I've tried and really enjoyed, but I always reference to where I got the recipe from in the recipe description and the pictures are my own. If there's no source listed, then it's a rare recipe that I came up with. I have two wonderful kids and I hope to pass on my love of cooking and baking to them.
