How to Cook a Precooked Ham in a Slow Cooker
Cooking a precooked ham in a slow cooker is a simple and effective way to prepare a delicious meal. Follow these steps to achieve a perfectly heated and flavorful ham.
Ingredients
- 1 precooked ham (size according to your slow cooker)
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- 1 cup of pineapple juice or apple cider
- Optional: cloves or mustard for added flavor
Instructions
- Prepare the Ham: Remove the ham from its packaging and place it in the slow cooker. If it has a layer of fat, score it in a diamond pattern for better flavor absorption.
- Add the Glaze: In a separate bowl, mix the brown sugar and pineapple juice. Pour this mixture over the ham, ensuring it is well coated.
- Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for about 4 to 6 hours, or until the ham reaches an internal temperature of 140°F (60°C).
- Serve: Once done, let the ham rest for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides.
Using a slow cooker allows the flavors to meld beautifully, resulting in a tender and juicy ham. This method is perfect for family gatherings or holiday meals.
