  • 6 lbs. precooked ham bone-in
  • 1 ¾ cups pineapple juice apple juice or orange juice also works
  • 1 ¾ tbsp. cornstarch
  • 1 ¾ tbsp. water
  • For the ham glaze:

Instructions
 

  • Remove the packaging and discard it along with the plastic cap on the bone. Also, discard any flavor pack that may come with the ham.
  • Pat the precooked ham dry using a kitchen towel.
  • Add brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup in a medium-sized bowl. Mix well until it reaches the consistency of a paste.
  • Spread this paste generously over the pre-cooked ham.
  • In a large crockpot, pour in the pineapple juice.
  • Place the marinated precooked ham in the slow cooker. Make sure the flat side of the ham faces downwards.
  • Seal the slow cooker with a lid and set the temperature to low. Cook the ham for about 4 to 5 hours or until the internal temperature reaches around 140 degrees F and the meat is tender. Don't forget to baste and flip the meat at intervals.
  • Remove the fully cooked ham from the slow cooker and place it over a serving platter.
  • Cover it with tin foil and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  • Strain the leftover fat and juice from the slow cooker into a saucepan.
  • Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the juices simmer.
  • In a bowl, mix cornstarch with water and pour it into the juices. Stir and let it simmer until the mixture starts to thicken up.
  • Serve this gravy alongside the sliced ham, and enjoy!
