• servings: 10 servings

• total time: 5 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

Fully-cooked ham (approximately 7 to 8 pounds (*see Notes below)

2 cups pineapple juice

2 cups brown sugar

1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

1 1/2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Directions

Remove ham from the packaging and discard any flavoring packet. If using a bone-in ham, check the end of the bone for a plastic cap and, if present, discard.

Pour the pineapple juice in bottom of a large (6- to 9-quart), oval slow cooker.

In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, Dijon, balsamic vinegar, and honey into a paste. Spread brown sugar mixture all over ham and place, flat side down, in slow cooker.

Cover slow cooker with lid and set to LOW. Cook ham for 4 to 6 hours or until the meat is tender and the internal temperature reaches 140°F. If desired, flip and baste the ham halfway through cooking time and again about an hour before the ham is done.

Once ham is done, remove to a platter and tent with foil to keep warm and rest for 15 minutes. Skim any fat and strain the juices from the crock pot into a saucepan. Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the juices to a simmer.

In a small bowl, use a fork to stir the cornstarch into the water to make a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the pot while whisking the ham juices. Allow the mixture to bubble and thicken for a minute or two, stirring occasionally. If you desire a thicker sauce, you may make and stir in a bit more cornstarch slurry.

Serve the ham warm, with the sauce on the side or spooned on top.
