This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Every great gathering needs a standout main dish, and this pineapple ham shows up with plenty of flavor and a casual vibe. Toss a few ingredients in the crock pot, and let the magic happen.

4 pounds boneless ham
2 cups brown sugar
1 can (20 ounce size) pineapple chunks, undrained
1/2 cup water
Place the ham in the crock pot.
In a bowl, combine the brown sugar, pineapple, and water. Mix until the sugar is dissolved.
Pour the pineapple mixture evenly over the ham.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 4-6 hours or until the ham is heated through.
Remove the ham from the crock pot and place on a cutting board. Slice as desired and serve with the sauce from the crock pot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.

I had to vary this just a little because I wanted to use ham steaks that I had in the freezer. I layered them with the other ingredients in the crock pot. It turned out fantastic! I can't wait to make this again with a regular ham.

I was afraid this would turn out too sweet but I think the pineapple diluted the sweetness a bit. I removed the ham from the crock pot and then thickened the sauce to serve over the ham.

Second year in a row I have made this recipe. It is a big hit. I have used a much bigger ham, 11 pounds this year. I used many more cloves than the recipe called for. I spaced them about an inch and a half apart over the entire skin side of the ham. I also doubled the brown sugar and pineapple. Deeeeeeelish!
