Plain Ham In The Crock Pot Recipes

Steps:

• Take 4-5 big sheets of aluminium foil and pat each of them into a ball.
• Place each of the balls of foil in the bottom of the crockpot.
• Add the water.
• Set the ham on top of the foil balls so that it isn't sitting in the liquid.
• Cook on low or high until the meat is hot and tender. The length of time will depend on whether or not the ham is cooked and needs only to be warmed up, or whether you need to actually cook the ham.
• Variation: To make with a whole chicken I usually put a spice rub on the chicken or you can just use salt and pepper and rub the spices into the skin. Place in the crockpot on top of the foil balls. I usually don't add water to the crockpot when making chicken. Cook until the chicken is very tender. Optional: Put under the broiler to crisp up the skin.

Steps:

• Spread about 1 1/2 cups of brown sugar on the bottom of the slow cooker crock. Place the ham flat side down into the slow cooker - you might have to trim it a little to make it fit. Use your hands to rub the remaining brown sugar onto the ham. Cover, and cook on Low for 8 hours.

Steps:

• Unwrap ham and discard flavor packet.
• Rub brown sugar all over the ham and make sure to get into the slices. We want them extra tasty!
• Pour on maple syrup and pineapple juice.
• Cover and cook for 4-5 hours on low.
• Baste ham every 30 minutes and make sure to get in between the slices (though not required, I did do this).
• When ham is done, remove ham from crock pot and allow to rest on cutting board for 10 minutes before slicing.

Steps:

• Press whole cloves into the ham so they are evenly distributed. You may score the ham for easier insertion if you wish. Place the ham in a slow cooker. Pour in apple cider until only about 2 inches of ham is above the surface. Pack the brown sugar on top of the ham, pressing into the cloves. This will get washed away in the next step but any that stays on is a bonus.
• Pour the maple syrup over the ham. Season the apple cider with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, ground cloves and vanilla. Add the orange peel to the pot. Fill the slow cooker as full as you can with apple cider without going over the fill line. Cover and set to Low. Cook for 8 to 10 hours.
