Use Virginia-baked ham. For those of us who love a sweet, fruity sauce with ham. Ingredients:
1 (4 lb) bone-in ham |
10 whole cloves |
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple, undrained |
1 tablespoon cornstarch |
1 (18 ounce) jar apricot-pineapple preserves |
1/4 cup dried sour cherries |
1/4 cup golden raisins or 1/4 cup currants |
Directions:
1. Stud the ham with the cloves, then place in slow cooker.
2. Drain pineapple juice from the crushed pineapple into a bowl and add the cornstarch.
3. Stir until thoroughly blended; then add in the pineapple and preserves; mix well.
4. Pour and spoon over the ham.
5. Cover and cook on LOW for 5-7 hours.
6. Sprinkle on the cherries and raisins; continue to cook 1 hour, until the meat is very tender.
7. Remove ham from the sauce and let cool for about 15 minutes on a cutting board.
8. Cut into slices and arrange on plates or a serving platter.
9. Generously spoon the sauce over the meat and serve at once.
