Steps:
- I used a 7 qt crock pot and fed 9 people with about 4 cups leftover.
- You might want to half the recipe.
- Combine all ingredients including pineapple juice, but NOT the pineapple or cornstarch yet.
- Cook on low 5 hours.
- Add cornstarch - ( all if very liquid ) and the pineapple.
- Cook for an additional 1 or 2 hours. I "cooked" for 6 hour total, but after all cooking was done I had it on warm for another 2 hours. I started way too early and misjudged how long it would take to cook.
- The ham made a kind of smoky tasting sweet and sour sauce, but it was good. I served it with rice on a busy school night and except for one teenage dweeb who eats nothing but hamburgers, they all liked it.

Tips:
- Choose the right ham: For best results, select a bone-in ham that weighs between 8 and 10 pounds. A smaller ham will cook more quickly, while a larger ham will take longer.
- Prepare the ham: Before cooking, remove the ham from its packaging and rinse it thoroughly with cold water. Pat the ham dry with paper towels.
- Score the ham: Use a sharp knife to score the ham in a diamond pattern. This will help the glaze penetrate the meat and create a more flavorful ham.
- Make the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, and orange juice. Mix well.
- Glaze the ham: Brush the ham with the glaze all over. Be sure to get the glaze into all the nooks and crannies of the ham.
- Cook the ham: Place the ham in the crock pot and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the ham rest: Once the ham is cooked, remove it from the crock pot and let it rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
