By Susan52

Ingredients

• 1 fully cooked boneless ham (5 to 6 pounds)
• 12 whole cloves
• 1 can (20 ounces) crushed pineapple, undrained
• 1 can (14 ounces) whole-berry cranberry sauce
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons stone-ground mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons cold water

Preparation

Step 1

Score the ham, making 1/2-in.-deep diamond shapes; insert a clove in
each diamond. Place ham in a 5-qt. slow cooker. In a large bowl,
combine the pineapple, cranberry sauce, garlic, mustard and pepper;
pour over ham.

Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until a thermometer reads
140°. Remove meat to a cutting board and keep warm; remove and
discard cloves.

Transfer sauce to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Combine
cornstarch and water until smooth; gradually stir into pan. Bring to
a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Slice ham
and serve with sauce. Yield: 20 servings (4-1/2 cups sauce).
