== Description ==
This recipe creates a very tasty succulent ham and is so easy to prepare. I created the recipe 25 years ago when my brother and his wife showed up unexpectedly, and I had to rely on what was on hand to create a meal for 8 people My brother raved and raved about the flavor and texture of the ham, so I knew I'd created a winner. Since then I have used this technique for fixing ham for holiday and church potluck dinners. The leftovers make divine Monte Cristo sandwiches, split pea soup, minestrone, and chef salads.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 x 3 – 4 lb precooked (not canned) boneless ham
* 1 orange, thinly sliced
* 1 lemon, thinly sliced
* ½ cup dark brown sugar
* 1 x 12-ounce can lemon-lime soda pop
* 3 pieces of candied ginger
* 2 cloves
== Directions ==
# Place ham in bottom of large crock pot.
# Arrange the sliced citrus alternately over the top of the ham.
# Next, sprinkle the brown sugar over the citrus and ham.

# Place the candied ginger and cloves in the soda.
# Place lid on crock pot.
# Cook on high for one hour, and then turn the heat down to low and cook another three hours.
