#5 Crockpot Pineapple Ham

One of my favorite items in the kitchen has to be the crockpot! It is so simple to throw everything in and dinner will be ready in the evening. I have to confess though, this recipe almost killed me, waiting so long for it to finish while the heavenly aroma filled the house.

I have wanted to try a different ham recipe for years, but the rest of the family is so hesitant about it when I mention it, we resort to the same baked ham we've had for every holiday for years. Since it's not a holiday (YET) I stood my ground and decided to try out a new style.

I LOVE the way it cooked, so tender, it was falling apart at the touch of my fork. The baby (my 15 month old) had no trouble eating it. It came right off the bone which is always an issue when we bake it. I personally feel like the flavor was lacking in this recipe. As long as you have pineapple with each bite, it was good, but there is a larger ham to pineapple ratio so that's not possible. The rest of the family seemed very favorable of it. I'll be attempting a different flavor in the not too distant future, maybe with a cola recipe I saw a while back.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to share. As I said, I was near death from anticipation as this cooked and we cut into it immediately after the timer went off. I completely forgot to snap a pic. I promise to get one next time. :)
