Place the ham in the slow cooker, flat side down.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, pineapple juice, and Dijon mustard until well combined.
Pour the mixture over the ham, ensuring it is well coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the ham is heated through and tender.
Baste the ham with the juices occasionally during cooking to enhance the flavor.
Once done, remove the ham from the slow cooker, let it rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes to the brown sugar mixture. You could also try using maple syrup instead of brown sugar for a different sweetness profile. If you prefer a glaze with more depth, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or a tablespoon of honey. To infuse the ham with additional flavor, you can stud it with cloves before cooking. Experiment with different types of mustard, like whole grain or spicy brown, to suit your taste preferences.
