1 cup apple juice

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons brown mustard

Add ham and 1 cup of apple juice to slow cooker.
Heat for 5-6 hours on low, until heated through.
Remove ham from slow cooker and let rest for 20 minutes.
Prepare glaze.
Bring pure maple syrup, dark brown sugar, mustard, pepper and cornstarch to a boil.
Let boil 2-3 minutes, whisking constantly until mixture starts to thicken. Add orange juice.

Pat ham dry and spoon glaze over ham.
Heat ham under broiler 5-7 minutes until glaze has caramelized.

If glaze cools too long and is overly thick, just reheat to make pourable.
