Ingredients

  • 1 fully cooked boneless ham (5 to 6 pounds)
  • 12 whole cloves
  • 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
  • 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Method

  • Score the ham, making 1/2-in.-deep diamond shapes; insert a clove in each diamond. Place ham in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl, combine the pineapple, cranberry sauce, garlic, mustard and pepper; pour over ham.
  • Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until a thermometer reads 140°. Remove meat to a cutting board and keep warm; remove and discard cloves.
  • Transfer sauce to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice ham and serve with sauce.
