Instructions

Lightly coat the interior of your slow cooker with avocado oil or use a liner for easy cleanup. Place the ham inside, ensuring the flat side sits firmly on the bottom
In a small glass bowl, whisk together the sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves
Tuck the pineapple slices between the ham layers and scatter the remaining pieces around the sides
Pour the pineapple juice over the meat, then rub the sugar mixture across the top and sides
Cover the pot and cook on low for 4 to 5 hours. Avoid using the high setting
Halfway through the cooking process, baste the ham with accumulated juices
Once the internal temperature reaches 140°F, remove the ham and let it rest for 15 minutes before carving

Notes

To keep the ham moist, always use the low setting on your slow cooker.

Basting halfway through cooking helps maintain a succulent texture.
