Remove the ham from packaging and rinse in cold water.

Pat the ham dry with paper towels.

Place the ham in an 8 quart crock pot.

In a bowl, combine 1 and 1/2 cups light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and ground cinnamon (start with 1/2 teaspoon).

Mix the brown sugar mixture well.

Add 6 to 8 oz of honey and some Dijon mustard to the bowl and mix everything together.

Add more ground cloves and cinnamon to taste, if desired.

Score the top of the ham (you can score the entire ham, but just do the top).

Pour the honey and Dijon mixture over the ham, ensuring it covers the top.

Add the entire bowl of light brown sugar on top of the ham and pat it down.

Cover the crock pot with a lid and set it to high for 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours.

Once done, carefully remove the ham from the crock pot using two forks and let it rest.

Transfer the ham to a baking sheet to rest and cover it.

Turn the crock pot back to high to let the juices render and skim off some fat from the top.

Slice the ham into thin slices after it has rested.

Serve the sliced ham on a platter and pour over the liquid from the crock pot.
