1/3 cup Kraft Original Barbecue Sauce

1/3 cup honey

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 can (14 oz) pineapple tidbits, drained

2 Tbspn cornstarch

2 Tbspn water

 Directions:

Place ham in slow cooker sprayed with cooking spray

Mix barbecue sauce, honey and sugar in a medium bowl until well blended

Stir in pineapple

Pour over ham

Cover with lid and cook on low for 4 hours or until ham is heated through - make sure to turn ham after 2 hours

Transfer ham to platter, reserving sauce in slow cooker

Cover ham to keep warm

Whisk cornstarch and water until blended

Add to reserved sauce in slow cooker

Cook uncovered for 5 minutes or until it's thickened - stirring occasionally

Serve with ham

**To add something extra special**

Add 1/2 tspn crushed red pepper to the barbecue sauce before pouring mixture over the ham

***NOTE***

It is NOT recommended to cook the ham on the High setting of the slow cooker since it will most likely dry out the ham.

Since most hams are already fully cooked, warming them slowing on the LOW setting produces the best results
