For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of ground ginger or cinnamon to the brown sugar mixture. If you prefer a less pronounced rum flavor, you can substitute orange juice or pineapple juice for part of the rum. Be extremely cautious when igniting the rum. Ensure there are no flammable materials nearby, and keep a fire extinguisher handy.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
15 mins
Place ham into a roasting pan. Spread Dijon mustard evenly over the top and sides of the ham, then sprinkle generously with brown sugar, pressing it gently to adhere. Arrange pineapple slices attractively over the ham, securing them with cloves. Place any remaining pineapple slices in the bottom of the roasting pan, and pour in the pineapple juice and 2 ounces of orange-flavored rum. (15 minutes)
03
Step
1 hrs 5 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the ham is heated through and the brown sugar has begun to caramelize, about 1 hour. Remove the ham from the oven and carefully pour the remaining 2 ounces of orange rum over the ham. Using a long match or lighter, carefully ignite the rum. Allow the flames to subside, further glazing the ham. (1 hour 5 minutes)
04
Step
1 hrs 10 mins
Continue baking until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the ham (avoiding the bone) registers at least 140 degrees F (60 degrees C), about 1 more hour. Let the ham rest for 10 minutes before carving. Transfer the ham to a serving platter, reserving the pan drippings in the roasting pan. (1 hour 10 minutes)
05
Step
5 mins
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water until smooth. Pour the mixture into the roasting pan with the pan drippings. Place the roasting pan over medium-low heat and whisk constantly until the pan juices thicken into a luscious gravy, about 5 minutes. Serve the gravy with the sliced ham. (5 minutes)
