This is the only way I cook a big ham these days, with lots of brown sugar in a slow cooker. The method frees up the oven for other dishes.
A 5-quart slow cooker can hold up to a 10-pound ham. Do not let the ham touch the top of the cooker; cut the ham to fit the cooker, if necessary. You won't need to add any water to the slow cooker because ham contains a significant amount of water.
Not making a big ham? This brown sugar approach also works if it's only a few slices of ham that you cook on top of the stove in a skillet.

Servings vary.
