Cooking a Pre-Cooked Ham in the Crock Pot

I met a lady sorting through a bin of hams at the grocery store. I had missed those and she commented they were the best. They were smoked, mostly boneless, butt portions. Well, they were half the price of the sliced one I had in my basket, so I asked her how she cooked it. She wraps the ham in foil and cooks in the crock pot until done. The foil keeps the juices in, she said. So I tried it for Christmas Dinner. Superb.

1. Score surface of the ham by lightly cutting the surface in a diamond pattern or criss-cross pattern.
2. Trim the ham if necessary to fit the crock pot.
3. Wrap in one piece of heavy duty foil.

5. Cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the internal temperature of the ham is 140°F
6. Remove the foil and drain the juices.
