A delightful and easy-to-make ham recipe with a citrusy twist, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.
Place the spiral-cut ham into the slow cooker, ensuring it fits snugly.
If the ham is too large, trim it slightly to fit the slow cooker.
In a bowl, mix the crushed pineapple with its juice, orange juice, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Ensure the sugar is fully dissolved for a smooth glaze.
Pour the glaze mixture over the ham, ensuring it coats the surface evenly.
Use a basting brush to spread the glaze into the crevices of the ham.
Stud the ham with maraschino cherries as desired for decoration and added flavor.
Secure the cherries with toothpicks if needed to keep them in place.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, basting the ham with the glaze every hour.
Basting helps to keep the ham moist and enhances the flavor.
Once cooked, transfer the ham to a serving platter and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, making the ham more tender.
