Super Easy Ham Recipe for Your Crockpot

If you're searching the web for a way to fix your Easter ham, here it is!

This recipe is super easy, thanks to the crockpot! My husband loves when I throw potatoes in with the ham, because the glaze makes the potatoes sweet.

Thick slices of any leftover ham are perfect on a roll or Amish White Bread with Ken's Steak House Honey Mustard! Mmmm, my favorite!

CROCKPOT HAM

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish (you will usually find this in the refrigerated section of your grocery store, near the eggs and yeast)
1/4 cup cola-flavored soda (or 'pop' as I call it!)
3-4 lb precooked ham

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, mustard, and horseradish. Moisten with just enough cola to make a smooth paste. Reserve remaining cola. Place ham in slow cooker and rub entire ham with brown sugar glaze. Pour remaining cola around ham.

Cover. Cook on LOW for 6-10 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours (if you do add potatoes, the longer time is better to be sure they are tender).

*NOTE* If you do not have dry mustard or horseradish, you can substitute 2 teaspoons of a spicy brown prepared mustard.

Beside Still Waters by Tricia Goyer and GIVEAWAY

I just finished Tricia Goyer's newest book, Beside Still Waters.

Marianna's family is talking of moving to Montana, a plan she does not want, especially with the promise of a life in Indiana with the boy she (thinks she) loves. However, she has always tried to be the 'perfect' daughter, so she agrees to travel with her family, but plans to stay in Montana for only six months. But, the more Marianna learns in Montana, the more she wonders if she can go back to what she always knew.

Although Tricia has jumped on the Amish band wagon that seems to be flooding the Christian Fiction market, Beside Still Waters wasn't exactly your typical Amish book. It appeared that Marianna's father and uncle were seeking and open for the truth of God's Word, and that Ben was going to share it.

I know many people think the Amish are godly...but, most, if not all, are not saved. They believe good works get you to heaven. This belief seemed evident in the book, and yet Tricia stopped just short of sharing the gospel - true salvation. That disappointed me.

Also, the ending was a bit stilted. Marianna was so set on going back to Indiana, but in a short conversation, she was hopping off the train.

Although the Amish genre is beginning to feel a bit overdone to me, Beside Still Waters was good overall, because Tricia had a fresh and different angle from the average Amish subject matter. Perhaps Tricia will write a sequel to see what happens in this small Montana community, especially because of the not-quite-satisfactory ending!

That's what I thought! Click HERE to see what others are saying about Tricia's newest book!

Many thanks to Tricia and Litfuse for sending me Beside Still Waters to read and review!
