My Favorite Kitchen Tools To Make This Recipe
From trusty pots and pans to handy gadgets, Iโve curated a list of products I use and love.
I’ve overcooked ham before. It was three Thanksgivings ago, and I followed the directions on the sauce package without checking the temperature or monitoring it closely. It was a big mistake.
As much as we all love ham, it’s very easy to overcook it. This happens especially during the holidays when no one wants a dry and wrinkled piece of meat. Am I right?

The Basics of cooking ham and pork
As a visual person, let me share how easy it is to know how your pork should be cooked and how it looks depending on how you like it. And, friends, just like beef, the cooking temperature varies depending on the cut of the pig. So, let’s talk about that, too.

Pork Cooking Temperatures for Various Cuts

Easy Holiday Ham Recipe
This Crock Pot Ham recipe will become a tradition in your household. It’s the perfect addition to any holiday table; you’ll never have to worry about overcooked ham again.

Ingredients
- Spiral-Cut Ham
- Brown sugar
- Maple syrup
- Pineapple juice
How to Make Ham in a Crock Pot
Take the ham out of its packaging and discard the flavoring packetโyou won’t need it.
Place the crock pot on a flat surface and sit down. Make sure it is at least 7 quarts to have enough space to work with.
Rub the brown sugar into the top and sides of the meat, then pour over the maple syrup and pineapple juice.

Set your crockpot to low heat, put the lid on, and let cook for 2-3 hours.
I advise checking the temperature after two hours. Once it reaches 140ยฐF on low heat, pour juices from the can over the meat, add pineapple slices or chunks, and cook for 30 minutes until the ham isย 145ยฐ F.
Remove it from the slow cooker, let it rest for 3-5 minutes, then slice and serve!
