Tangy Thanksgiving Honey Glazed Ham

"Gratitude is the inward feeling of kindness received. Thankfulness is the natural impulse to express that feeling. Thanksgiving is the following of that impulse." Henry Van Dyke. 

Since were are a year round turkey kind of family (it's our job)! I will always turn to a yummy glazed ham for Thanksgiving. This recipe came into our family about 15 years ago and ends up on our festive table a couple of times a year. It's easy, low maintenance, and love that it can be done in a crock pot and tastes like I've been in the kitchen all day!

Ingredients:

1 (10 pound) fully-cooked, bone-in ham

1 1/4 cups packed dark brown sugar

1/3 cup pineapple juice

1/3 cup honey

1/3 of a large orange juice and zest

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
