- Place thehaminto the slow cooker stoneware, flat-side down, with layers of kitchen twine under it so it can be easily removed from the cooker when finished.
- Insert whole cloves evenly all over theham. You may need to poke holes in thehamwith a knife to penetrate the tough skin.
- On the stems of the whole cloves, hang a pineapple slice. Do it all over the ham.
- In a separate bowl, make a paste of the brown sugar, maple syrup and pineapple juice and apply to theham.
- Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours.
