Honey Dijon Ham

3 pounds boneless ham
1/3 cup honey
2 Tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon water

Place ham on a greased rack in a shallow roasting pan. Bake, uncovered at 325 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Combine honey, mustard, and sugar; brush about 3 tablespoons over ham. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 140 degrees and ham is heated through. Stir into remaining glaze; heat through and serve with the ham.

I cooked my ham in a crock pot. I mixed all of the ingredients together and poured over the ham. I cooked it on low for about 5 hours, occasionally stirring the glaze and putting it on top of the ham. This turned out delicious! It was so yummy and my best ham yet!
