While you may think that ham and rum is a complicated dish, it is actually very easy to prepare and cook this amazing dish. Slice the ham crosswise, then wrap in aluminum foil and bake for about 2 hours. Just before the 2 hours are up, stir in the brown sugar, rum and mustard. Then it was time to grab a pastry brush. Brush the ham generously with the rum glaze and bake in the oven for a few more minutes. This allows the sugar in the glaze to caramelize, which gives the ham a nice color and enhances its flavor.
