I usually save some of the ham chunks for leftovers and sandwiches but the rest I cube up and freeze for convenient additions to other meals. Remove from crock pot and serve in chunks.ĭon’t worry about cleaning off the bone too much because you can save the bone and scraps for a split pea and ham soup or ham and navy bean soup. The hams are already pre-cooked before they are packaged so if you happen to run short on time and have to pull it out before it starts falling apart, it will still be ok to eat. You know the ham is done when you can poke in a fork and easily shred the ham.

I like to flip the ham at least once during the last hour or two of cooking to ensure the entire ham gets to soak in all the yummy juices. Try to get as tight a seal as possible.Ĭook over high heat for 6-7 hours or low heat for 8-10 hours. If your ham is too tall to fit the lid on top, cover with a few pieces of foil. Place your ham face down on top of the brown sugar.Ĭoat the top of the ham in a thick layer of brown sugar. Use about 1 and ½ cups of the brown sugar, or enough to cover the bottom of the crock pot in a ¼ inch layer.Ĭut open your ham packaging and remove the plastic circle that is most likely covering the bone on the bottom side of the ham. Whew! Let’s move on!ģ cups light brown sugar (I never measure, so this is just an approximate amount). You will just have a whole lot of tiny little pieces. Also a note on spirals… they will work just fine but tend to dry out a little more and don’t give you the delicious chunks of shredded ham. We are good with bones and fat in a crock pot recipe because they are going to give us a ton of flavor. If you buy the “Butt or Shank Portion ,” that center slice has been removed.Īs far as our ham goes, I recommend the “Butt Portion” as our goal for this recipe in the crock pot is to find the shortest ham you can. If you buy a ham labeled “Butt or Shank End ,” you are buying a ham that still has that center slice attached. This is the prime cut from the ham that is sliced from between the “Butt” and the “Shank” portions of the ham. Have you ever bought the “ Center Ham Slices” from the store? They are more like a ham steak, usually less than 1” thick. If you are curious what the difference between the “End” and the “Portion” cuts are, I will enlighten you. We won’t be doing much carving folks it’s going to be falling apart on its own.

The “Shank ” cut only has one large bone so it is a great choice if you will be carving your ham. The “ Butt ” cut generally has more meat than the “ Shank ” cut, but also contains more fat and bone.

Here’s a little lesson on ham…At a regular grocery store, you will most likely have the option of a “Butt End/Portion” (the upper portion of the leg) or a “Shank End/Portion” (the lower portion of the leg). You may find yourself limiting your guests to a small helping of ham because you are going to want those leftovers! 🙂 Ingredients: You will want to eat the entire thing yourself. We make this ham year round in our house because my family absolutely loves it and it enables us to have so many awesome options for quick meals with the leftovers.
