BEST EVER Ham Glaze


1 c. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. cornstarch
¼ tsp. salt
1 can (8 ½ oz) crushed pineapple in syrup (not juice, it’s more flavorful with syrup)
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. mustard
Ground nutmeg

Combine first 3 ingredients in a small saucepan. Stir in rest of ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it boils. Poke holes in the ham with a knife. Sprinkle the ham generously with ground nutmeg and pour the glaze over. Crock pot on low for about 4-6 hours.

*This makes enough for a 2 pound ham. Double, triple, etc for however big your ham is.
