Sweet and savory flavors come together for this Slow Cooker Ham Steaks and Pineapple Rings recipe.
This Slow Cooker Ham Steaks and Pineapple Rings recipe turned out amazing. I was thumbing through one of my favorite cookbooks “The Whistle Stop Cafe” by Fannie Flagg, and saw a recipe for ham steaks and pineapple rings, and I knew I had to create a recipe with ham steaks for my slow cooker. I’m a huge fan of Fannie Flagg, her fiction books are upbeat, funny, and just homey and I just love her cookbook too!
This recipe couldn’t be easier, I did slice the ham myself. I wasn’t sure if the pre-sliced ham packages would be too thin, so I bought a small ham, and cut the ham into 1/2 inch slices. The sauce is the pineapple juice from the pineapple rings, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard, whisk those ingredients together, and throw everything in the slow cooker for 5 hours on low.
I served these Slow Cooker Ham Steaks and Pineapple Rings with Baked Potatoes and asparagus, we use the leftover ham for breakfast on the weekend.
Here is the video about how to make this ham. If you like videos like this one, you can follow me on YouTube, here.
- 2.5 lbs ham, sliced into ½ inch slices (you can use more or less ham)
- 20 ounce can Pineapple Slices (reserve juices for sauce )
- 6 ounce can Maraschino Cherries, drained
- 3 tablespoons Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon Mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- Add ham slices, pineapple slices, and maraschino cherries to the slow cooker.
- Put reserved pineapple juice, brown sugar, mustard, and apple cider vinegar in a medium sized bowl. Whisk until smooth and pour over ham, pineapple and cherries in the slow cooker.
- Cover, and cook for 5 hours on LOW, with out opening the lid during cooking time.
- Drizzle sauce over each serving. ENJOY!

October 22, 2014 at 3:00 pmI am attempting to make this right now. I was going to do another recipe with what I had, which is pineapple chunks. My other recipe that I had was all of a sudden not able to open due to something wrong with the link. So, I don’t have any cherries. Hopefully, it turns out ok.

July 29, 2015 at 8:51 amI am about to cook a ham slice in slow cooker for ham and scalloped potatoes, but am afraid the ham slice will cook too much on the bottom and will dissolve. Any help is appreciated!
Sarah Olson says
July 29, 2015 at 9:27 amI don’t think the ham slice will disolve on the bottom. Add a little liquid like pineapple juice or water so it won’t dry out.

April 13, 2017 at 4:48 pmWhat size crockpot did you use? I have a small one and a large one. This recipe sounds delicious.
Sarah Olson says
April 14, 2017 at 1:25 pmI used a 6.5 quart in the video. I think it would fit in a 4-quart or larger.
