I always make this crock pot brown sugar pineapple ham when our extended family visit from out of town because it’s delicious and zero-fuss.
There are quite a few different versions of this crock pot brown sugar pineapple ham circulating on Pinterest, but this crock pot recipe has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I love the sweet flavor that the brown sugar, pineapple and maple syrup gives the spiral cut ham.
If you don’t have any maple syrup on hand you can certainly leave that out.
The inclusion of the pineapple tidbits in this yummy family recipe is really important, though. I love the flavor that it adds to the ham and everyone loves having a few of those remnant pineapple chunks on their plate to enjoy along with each bite of ham.
I used a 6lb. bone-in spiral sliced ham for this crock pot brown sugar pineapple hame recipe, but you can certainly use any ham that you prefer. Whether it’s spiral sliced or not, bone-in or bone-out—it’s up to you! The important part is that yummy sauce created from the pineapple, brown sugar and maple syrup. It’s just SO yummy.

Can I make this in the oven?
All I could find was a hickory smoke spiral, will this offset the flavor of the pineapple and brown sugar?
Made last year with a boneless ham-delicious. Love how easy the recipe is
I have used this for years but I use honey instead of maple syrup. SOOOO yummy
My ham was one large sauce when I went to serve it. I followed your recipe exact and honestly I can’t figure out what happened. Mine was a boneless spiral ham.
Please let me know if you have heard of this happening.
Can I use honey in place of Maple syrup?
Yes. That is was I do.
I was wondering ,do I put in the juice of the pineapple too ? This is the pineapple & brown sugar ham recipe. For the crock pot ?
I do see where you got, an answer as to adding the juice with the pineapple or not adding it. I want to try the recipe but am also unsure.
