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.

  1. Hi! I’ve made this in the crock pot before and it was great. Do you think this could be made in an instapot?

  2. Hi! Hoping you get this in time. I just did my (very last-minute) shopping for our Easter dinner (itโ€™s midnight and tomorrow is Easter) and there was only UNCOOKED bone-in ham at the store. How long should I cook it in my slow-cooker (and at what setting) so the ham can cook and still work with this recipe? Or should I cook the ham to proper temp in my oven (in the morning) and then start the slow-cooker process (to meld the flavors)?

  3. 120 oz pineapple tidbits seems like a lot; is this a typo; I have 14oz can. ย Sounds delicious. Can’t wait to try.

    Thanks

    1. I believe it’s meant to be a ONE (1) 20 oz can of pineapple.. ๐Ÿค—

    2. It’s (1) 20 ounce not 120ouncesย 

    3. Sharee Grubb says:

      Itโ€™s one 20 ozย 

    4. Jennifer Chambers says:

      Kathleen, I think the writer means one 20 oz. can.

    5. I think what they mean is ” 1 can of 20z of pinneaple”

    This recipe is delicious and easy. DO NOT USE FRESH PINEAPPLE!!! ย Apparently the fresh pineapple has an enzyme that is cooked out of the canned fruit. This enzyme had an adverse effect on the proteins in the ham and turned it to mush.ย 

    I will say it made lasting memories of the Christmas ย dinner we had ham soup!

  5. I’m going to be using this recipe over the weekend but am only using a 3lb ham. Do you recommend adjusting the cook time at all? I can’t wait to try this, looks amazing!!!

    1. Trying it now… only used half a ham to I just eyed the ingredients! Hope it turns out good!!!

  6. Kim Bailey says:

    Anyway to make this but with a smaller Jan?

  7. Has anyone tried this recipe in the oven instead of crock pot?ย 
    Thanks!

  8. Denise Mayer says:
