Every year my dad cooks a ham for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Year after year, it’s always the same: baked ham. When I was able to score a bone-in ham for less than $6, I was amped to try cooking the ham a different way.
I tried cooking the ham with it’s juices in a crock pot with pineapple juice, maple syrup and brown sugar. I cooked it for about 5-6 on a slow heat. It smelled delicious so I thought I was on a the road to something great. Duh-dun-dunnnnnn….
The ham turned out to be ropey and not tasty at all. I was to salvage some of it, but I had to chuck the rest. I don’t think I will be trying to slow boil a ham again!
