Crock Pot Brown Sugar Ham

Crock-Pot Brown Sugar Ham
Prep time:  
Cook time:  
Total time:  
Serves: 6-8
 
The key to this recipe is to let the ham sit after cooking to let it reabsorb some of the juices.
Ingredients
  • 1 (4-5) Pound Ham (I prefer a spiral sliced ham for easy serving)
  • 1 Cup Light Or Dark Brown Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Cloves
Instructions
  1. In a small bowl combine the brown sugar and ground cloves and stir to mix.
  2. Spread ½ of the brown sugar mixture on the bottom of a 6-7 quart oval crock-pot.
  3. Place ham, cut side down, into crock-pot on top of the brown sugar.
  4. Rub the remaining brown sugar mixture all over the rest of the ham.
  5. Cover and cook on low 4 hours.
  6. Turn crock-pot off and let sit for 30 minutes so that the ham can reabsorb some of the juices that will come out when cooked for a moister meat.
Notes
Spoon the remaining crock-pot ham juices over the ham when serving. Delish!
