Slow Cooker Holiday Brown Sugar Ham

This recipe reminds me of how my mom would make ham growing up. She always put pineapple rings on the top and when she was feeling extra fancy she would add a maraschino cherry to the centers which totally impressed my sister and I, it ended up looking like flowers!

You do need a pretty large slow cooker if you are going to use a 7 pound ham, I used a 6 quart and it just did fit. Make sure you consider the size and shape of the ham when you are purchasing it if you are planning on cooking it in the slow cooker.

My favorite part of making a ham is all the possibilities for leftovers! Click here to find some of our favorite leftover ham recipes.
