CROCK POT SWEET AND SOUR HAM

Steps:

• I used a 7 qt crock pot and fed 9 people with about 4 cups leftover.
• You might want to half the recipe.
• Combine all ingredients including pineapple juice, but NOT the pineapple or cornstarch yet.
• Cook on low 5 hours.
• Add cornstarch - ( all if very liquid ) and the pineapple.
• Cook for an additional 1 or 2 hours. I "cooked" for 6 hour total, but after all cooking was done I had it on warm for another 2 hours. I started way too early and misjudged how long it would take to cook.
• The ham made a kind of smoky tasting sweet and sour sauce, but it was good. I served it with rice on a busy school night and except for one teenage dweeb who eats nothing but hamburgers, they all liked it.
