Thanks for the ideas. I always make ham in the crockpot at Christmas with either splenda or sugartwin brown sugar, as the family loves it, but I know those are still 50% brown sugar and really carby.

So this thread gave me the idea to try it with Walden Farms pancake syrup, which I have used as the sweetening agent in bbq sauces and other things succesfully - I'm going to try it, I bet it will be good.
