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

Sides for ham:

• Slow Cooker Cheesy Jalapeno Corn – a bit decadent but a crowd pleaser
• Slow Cooker Fresh Garlic Green Beans – a perfect healthy side for this ham
• Slow Cooker Land your Man Baked Beans – Ham and beans are a perfect match
• Slow Cooker Party Potatoes – Who doesn’t like cheesy potatoes?

Wouldn’t this be a great recipe for Christmas or Easter? Something different but wonderfully delicious. Have a great week!
