Ham on Bone in Crock Pot

Crock pots are simply amazing.  Nobody can complain about having dinner ready when you walk in the door.    Try to get a ham that is uncured and nitrate free as these have been linked to causing cancer.   Also, ham on the bone allows nutrients from the bone/tendon/ligaments to cook into the meat provides great flavor and healthy trace mineral (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus) rich meat.  This would go well with sweet potatoes, red potatoes, broccoli, asparagus, peas, quinoa, brown rice, or any other veggie/grain (if you eat grains) that sounds good to you.

Ingredients

• 1 Whole Uncured Nitrate Free Ham on bone
• 2 cups pineapple juice
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup maple syrup

-Cook in crock pot for 6-8 hours on low and enjoy!
