Instructions
Place the ham in your slow cooker.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and black pepper.
Pour the glaze evenly over the ham.
Cover and cook on low for 4-6 hours, or on high for 2-3 hours, until the ham is heated through.

For a deeper flavor, you can score the ham before glazing.
