How to bake a ham and how to make a glaze…Preheat oven to 325ºF . Remove skin and trim fat from ham leaving a ¼ inch thick layer. Score the fat to make a diamond pattern. Place ham in a shallow roasting pan and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour. Drain off any fat in pan. Meanwhile, blanch orange and lemon zest in small saucepan of boiling water for 1 minute to remove bitterness. Drain and reserve. In a food processor, purée rum, marmalade, honey and mustard until smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Generously brush ham with rum glaze and sprinkle zests over top. Bake, basting with glaze every 15 minutes, for 1 hour or until nicely glazed and meat thermometer registers 140ºF . Add a small amount of water to bottom of pan if glaze begins to burn. Transfer baked ham to a warm platter, cover loosely with foil and let rest for 15 minutes before carving. Serves 8 to 10 with a generous amount of leftover ham.
