    The inspiration behind this recipe:

    There's always so much to do this time of year.  There's spring cleaning to do inside and out, yard work and plants to plant.  Not to mention, Easter is coming up very quickly!

    In addition to all that, we're getting ready for the annual visit from my mother-in-law.  Most people would dread that but thankfully I have a mother-in-law who is wonderful and very helpful.

    To make the most of Easter and her visit, I'm doing this easy Slow Cooker Honey Ham with Pineapple Salsa!

    How to make Slow Cooker Honey Ham with Pineapple Salsa:

    Because Easter morning is pretty busy, I like to heat ham in a slow cooker so it's ready when we return from church and I don't have to take up oven space.

    • When you purchase a spiral-sliced ham, typically the glaze surrounds the ham in the package so you'll want to open it inside the slow cooker.

    • Then simply heat on low for 4 to 5 hours.
    • If you can, use a turkey baster to baste the ham with the glaze several times while heating.

    • Ham garnished with pineapple is the classic way to serve it.  However, here's a fun and updated pineapple salsa to serve with the Slow Cooker Honey Ham.  This spicy, tangy pineapple salsa pairs perfectly with the sweet, smoky ham.  Use pre-cut pineapple so the salsa can be made quickly.

    Have a Happy and Joyous Easter and I hope you enjoy this Slow Cooker Honey Ham with Pineapple Salsa!

    Equipment

    • Wusthof Chef Knife
    • Cutting Board
    • Glass Mixing Bowls
    • Crockpot Slow Cooker

    Ingredients
      

    Ham

    • 1 (8-10 pound) spiral cut honey ham

    Salsa

    • 1 container (1-pound) sliced pineapple - or a large pineapple if you don't mind doing more work
    • 1 jalapeno pepper - finely chopped
    • ½ small red bell pepper - finely chopped
    • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion
    • ¼ cup chopped cilantro
    • 1 tablespoon lime juice
    • 2-3 tablespoons honey - to taste
    • Salt - to taste

    Instructions
     

    Ham

    • Unwrap the spiral-cut honey ham inside a large slow cooker. Coat the ham with the glaze. Cover and cook on Low for 4 to 5 hours or until heated through to 165 degrees. If possible, baste the ham using a turkey baster several times with the juices and glaze. Let rest 20 minutes before serving.

    Salsa

    • Chop the pineapple into ¼-inch dice and place in a bowl. Add remaining ingredients. Serve with ham.

    Notes

    If the size of the ham will not allow you to place the cover on the slow cooker, cover securely with aluminum foil. Then, place the lid over the aluminum foil the best you can.

      This ham looks positively divine - I always love mine with pineapple salsa or glaze, as well! And The Fresh Market looks like a truly amazing store. I love that you can call in your orders in advance and have them ready for pick-up. What a great time-saver, especially when you have a lot of company! Enjoy all of your visitors this month!

      Doesn't it seem like ham and pineapple were just made for one another? This recipe looks like it pairs the two beautifully, can't wait to make it!

      Yum! The pineapple salsa sounds super tasty. I especially think that the jalapeno pairs well with the sweetness of the pineapple.

        Hi, Jenni, Yes, the jalapeno is really welcome with the sweetness of the ham and the sweet/tart flavor of the pineapple. Thanks so much!
