1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard

1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water

Directions

1 Spray the slow cooker insert with cooking spray and place ham inside.
2 Combine honey, brown sugar, mustard, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, whisking thoroughly, until sugar is melted and ingredients are combined, 2 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
3 Pour water into the bottom of the slow cooker. Pour sauce over the ham. Cover.
4 Cook in the slow cooker on Low, 6 to 8 hours. Baste the ham with the juices from the bottom once every hour.
