Step 3 — Mix the Glaze
In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and ground cloves if using. Stir until the mixture is fairly uniform — the sugar won’t fully dissolve at this stage, but everything should be well combined. Pour the cola over the ham first, directing it around the sides so it pools in the bottom of the crockpot rather than washing the glaze off the surface. Then spoon or pour the brown sugar mixture over the top of the ham, using a spoon or spatula to spread it across the surface and encourage it to work its way between the spiral-cut slices. The cola and glaze will combine as they heat and create the braising liquid that builds the final sauce.
