### 🐖 **How to Make It:**

1. **Prep the Ham:**
Place your ham in the slow cooker, flat side down. If it’s spiral-cut, that’s great — the Coke will seep into all the crevices. If not, score the surface with shallow criss-cross cuts to help the flavors soak in.

2. **Mix & Pour:**
Mix Coca-Cola with brown sugar and mustard (if using), then pour the mixture over the ham. It should come at least halfway up the sides of the ham. Toss in a few pineapple slices or cloves if you’re using them.

3. **Set & Forget:**
Cover and cook on **LOW for 6 hours**. Baste once or twice during cooking if you’re nearby, but it’s not strictly necessary. The ham will self-baste beautifully.

4. **Optional Glaze Finish (For Extra Sticky Goodness):**
When done, transfer the ham to a baking dish. Reduce some of the liquid in a saucepan to thicken, then brush it over the ham. Broil for 5 minutes to caramelize the glaze.
