- In a small pot over medium-low heat, combine the brown sugar, pineapple preserves, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice or water and garlic powder. Warm to form a glaze.
- Sprinkle 1/4 cup brown sugar in the bottom of a 7-8 qt slow cooker. Place the ham into the slow cooker cut side down. Place the pineapple chunks all around the ham.
- Brush the ham with the glaze trying to get in between the layers. Pour the remaining glaze over the ham.
