Start by making a glaze for the ham.

In a saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter.

Add 1/4 cup of pure maple syrup and 1/4 cup of honey to the saucepan.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 1/2 cup of brown sugar.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of cloves to the mixture.

Pour in 1 cup of pineapple juice and mix everything together.

Bring the mixture to a boil for about 5 minutes.

To thicken the glaze, mix 2 teaspoons of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and add it to the saucepan.

Turn off the heat and let the glaze cool for about 5 minutes.

Pour the glaze over the 6 lbs precut boneless ham, ensuring it gets into the cuts.

Cover the crock pot and set it to cook on low for approximately 3 to 4 hours.

Check the internal temperature; it should reach 140°F to ensure it's warmed through.

Baste the ham a couple of times during the cooking process.

If desired, place the ham under the broiler for 3 to 5 minutes for a toasted top.
