Add orange juice, brown sugar, maple syrup, dijon mustard, garlic powder, and cinnamon to a large saucepan and bring to a slow simmer over medium heat.
Stir occasionally and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the glaze thickens slightly, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Place ham into the slow cooker flat side down. Pour in the glaze and use a baster or brush to thoroughly coat the top of the ham.
Close with the lid and cook on LOW for 4 to 6 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 140˚Fahrenheit. During cooking, baste or brush the ham with glaze every hour.
To serve, transfer the ham to a large platter and baste or brush with another coat of glaze.
Optionally, serve with extra glaze on the side and garnish the platter with sliced oranges and sprigs of rosemary.
