Slow Cooker Jalapeno Pineapple Ham

Hi all! If you like spicy food, then you will enjoy this ham recipe. The ham turns out sweet and spicy.

How long do I cook ham in the slow cooker?

  • A 6 hour cooking time is the right amount of time to not overcook and dry out the ham since it is already cooked.
  • The slow cooker takes a while to warm up an entire ham, and in that time, a wonderful sauce forms from the brown sugar, onions, pineapple and jalapeno.

Can I use a spiral ham instead of an unsliced picnic ham?

Any cut of ham will work well in this recipe and you will have great results. You can use:

  • Spiral ham
  • Ham steaks
  • Ham slices
  • Black forest

      My wife is allergic to pineapple. Would it come out just as good without the pineapple?

        Yes, I think it will be fine. I’d add some apple juice if possible.

      Can you use fresh pineapple in this recipe instead of canned? If so, how much?

      And should you cut the ham and return it to the slow cooker at some point. If so, at what point?
