Really easy crock pot ham.

I have several excuses for not posting any recipes for a long time, and I was reminded of one of them because of the picture of the ponderous housewife on the left. I got food poisoning from egg salad, and so I hated food for a while, and trusted nothing in my fridge.

Crock pots are hip now. When did this happen? My crock pot came to me as a sad, unwanted appliance when both my parents married new people who had nice crock pots with timers and shit, so I got the 1979 version: one knob and grease stains.

This delicious ham will take you 5 minutes to make (if you are the fastest potato peeler in the galaxy. But potatoes aside, it's really easy).

'Spicy Honey Ham'

Put 3 pound(ish) ham in the crock pot. Peel and cut up a medium onion and 3 sweet potatoes, and arrange those around the ham.

Make a sauce by mixing a 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 cup honey, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 tsp crushed red pepper.

Mix and dump in crock pot.

Low for 7-8 hours, or high for 4 hours.

Tonight, I'm going to cut the butt of the ham into chunks and put it in macaroni and cheese. I love dinner!
I was looking for a picture of ham to put with this recipe, but this steak is patriotic.
