Sophie's spicy pineapple crock pot ham
- 1 lb ham/gammon joint (I used boneless).
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tin pineapple
- 1/2 cup sliced jalapenos
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Crumble sugar into the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Mix in jalapenos, garlic powder, and the juice from your pineapple tin.
- Chop half the pineapple into chunks, and put in the slow cooker.
- Mix thoroughly, then add your meat.
- If you can, put it fat side down.
- Rub the exposed meat with more sugar, put the lid on and bake for the first hour on high.
- After an hour, turn the temperature down to low and continue to cook for another 3 hours.
- This is based on a 1.5lb piece of meat - you will need to adjust your cooking time accordingly.
- Half way through the cooking time you may wish to turn your meat over.
- Baste it with the juices, then sprinkle more sugar on top.
- At the end of the cooking time, remove from the slow cooker and leave to rest for 5-10 minutes.
- While the ham is resting, put about 50ml of the cooking liquid into a saucepan.
- Heat gently, and add 1tbsp of corn flour.
- Store until it starts to thicken, and then add the rest of the juices and 100ml vegetable stock.
- Simmer for a few minutes and remove from the heat.
- Slice up your ham, serve with the sauce and whatever accompaniments you wish.
