Thanksgiving Ham

[honestlyamigo]

So, I'm having a Thanksgiving with friends at my apartment this year, and I know everyone will be tired of turkey by Saturday. I decided that I would make a ham instead, and I'm thinking of a 10 lb. ham for 9 people. I would like to try making it in the crockpot, since I don't have one of those upright ham rack thingies. I do have a roasting pan,

I have never cooked a ham in the crockpot. I pour ginger ale over the top of it, then give it a light coating of brown sugar and just roast it. It's easy,and tastes incredible. Everyone I have ever made it for raves about it.

that sounds pretty good, how long do you roast it for?

Erm...till it's done? Sorry, I do most of my cooking by guess and by gosh, especially when it comes to things like ham. A couple hours? I usually give it another dousing of ginger ale, and then a little more brown sugar toward the end.

I've never done ham in a crock, so cannot help with that. However, 10 lbs for 9 people means you will have a lot of leftovers. The Butterball hotline advises .25 to .5 lb of meat per person; I assume this number would apply to ham, turkey, whatever.

thanks for the tip, I had no idea!

I have done teardrop ham in the crock with either coke or root beer and it gets great reviews! I love it!

i've done a cola ham in the crock pot. recipe needed tweaking, but it came out perfectly fine otherwise.

I am doing ham in a Nesco (its like a large crock pot for meat. Its my mothers.) for Thanksgiving. My brother is allergic to fowl
