Slow Cooker Ham and Beans with Wild Garlic Chives

I love after major holidays when whole sliced hams go on sale.  I will buy as many as can fit in my freezer.  I know that each ham is worth at least four dinners for my family of five: sliced ham, ham stroganoff, ham and spinach quiche and finally, ham and beans with the meaty ham bone.  The ham and beans dish is one of my favorites and disappears in our house quickly. You can substitute a package of diced ham or ham hocks if necessary.
