Slow Cooker 4-Ingredient Brown Sugar Ham

Serves: 8–10

Ingredients

  • 1 (5–7 lb) bone-in ham
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup pineapple juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Directions

  1. Place the ham in the slow cooker, flat side down.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, pineapple juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
  3. Pour the mixture over the ham, making sure it’s well coated.
  4. Cover and cook on LOW for 6–8 hours, until heated through and tender.
  5. Baste occasionally with the juices for extra flavor.
  6. Rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.

Variations & Tips

  • Add crushed red pepper flakes for a subtle kick
  • Swap brown sugar for maple syrup for a richer sweetness
  • Add a splash of apple cider vinegar for balance
  • Stud the ham with whole cloves for classic holiday flavor
  • Try whole-grain or spicy brown mustard for extra depth

If you want this rewritten for a blog, social caption, or recipe card layout, I can tailor it exactly to that format.
