Next, melt the butter and pour over the ham. Finally, pour the orange juice into the slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook the ham on low heat for 8-10 hours. Turn the ham over once or twice while cooking.
When the ham is finished cooking, remove it from the slow cooker and place it on a cutting board. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before slicing it. Then, remove the fat and discard it.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and cold water. Pour the mixture into the slow cooker and stir until combined. Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Serve the sauce over the ham.
