Since I ran across this recipe several years ago, I've used it often for special dinners. What I really like is the ease of preparation. You don't have a lot of cleanup because everything is done right there in the bag. —Sandy Olberding, Spencer, Iowa

The method for creating this delish dish is incredibly easy. I can understand where some of the members are coming from about the sauce being a bit runny and excessive. Instead of using 2 cups of apple juice, perhaps thicken the consistency and lessen the amount by using 3/4 cup apple sauce and 1/2 cup apple juice, if you are not too much of an apple fan with ham you can always substitute for pineapple, or better yet combine the both by using pineapple juice instead of apple juice.

I put the ham in the crockpot for 7 hours and it turned out well, very tender. We did not care for the flavor of the sauce with it. I guess my family just prefers pineapple on ham instead of apples. :)

I made it for Easter in the crock pot and it was hit. I thought I left in a little long, but no one else seemed to mind. I think about 10 hours would be perfect.

I used an applewood smoked ham for this recipe and put the whole kaboodle on the grill for about 2 hours to warm through. The sauce was a bit runnier than I expected but had a great flavor. Most guests did not use the sauce, as we tend to keep it simple, I ended up throwing it out. For those who love sweetness with their ham, this is a great way to serve it up.

Very good! I actually cooked the ham in the crock pot and used a spiral cut, bone in ham for Easter dinner. The juices cooked into the ham and it was delicious. I didn't have apple juice, so I substituted 1 cup of apple sauce and 1 cup of water for the 2 cups of apple juice. I also cut back on the apples (used just one, not 4 ~ is it just me or does 4 seem a bit excessive?) and only used 1/2 cup of raisins. Anyway it was simply great and I will definitely be making my ham this way again! The leftovers were even better the next day and we used the juice for a gravy as well which was also a hit and made for cohesive flavors on our Easter plates!

Cooking the ham in a roasting bag ensured the ham was moist. The sauce gave the ham a wonderful flavor. Next time I will only make half the recipe; it seemed to be too much even for a large ham.

How long do you cook in slow cooker?

I am going to make this in my slow cooker this year using a spiral slice ham. Years ago our local butcher told us to take a spiral slice ham and pour one can of crushed pineapple and one jar of honey over the top, and baste while cooking. Last year I made this in my slow cooker, and it was the most tender ham I've ever had. SO, I have the feeling this recipe will work beautifully too. I'm very excited about the apples/raisins/cinnamon sauce! YUM!!!

I made this for our Easter dinner and my husband loved it! He said that I could make it anytime. I have to say, it was one of the best hams I have ever made...and that sauce...wow! I told my husband that I am going to make just the sauce up and it would probably be good over ice cream or angel food cake! Definately two thumbs up!

Ham with apple raisin sauce is absolutely delicious and one my family asks for any chance they can. The only one who won't eat it is my daughter, as she is deathly allergic to raisins, so I make her the sauce without the raisins. We love this recipe and will be making it many more times.

I served this for a family dinner and it was a huge success. One family member even put some of the sauce on oatmeal the next morning, and said it was delicious.
