How long does ham take in the crockpot?
A 8 pound ham takes around 6 hours on LOW in the crockpot.
What is the best liquid to cook ham in?
Pineapple juice is the best liquid to cook ham in because it’s the perfect sweet contrast to a salty ham. The result is a super juicy ham!
How to Cook Ham in the Slow Cooker
Put the ham in the slow cooker. This recipe is for a 8 pound ham, but if yours is too big and doesn’t fit, you might need to cut off some of the fat on the sides.
With ham in the slow cooker, rub brown sugar all over it. If any brown sugar falls off it, just let it at the bottom of the slow cooker so it makes a sweet juice.
Pour pineapple juice in the bottom of the slow cooker.
Cook and let the slow cooker do all the work!
Remove ham, slice it and serve. Enjoy this ham dinner!
