Captain Morgan Spiced Rum Glazed Ham
Rum-glazed ham is a showstopper that’s surprisingly simple to make. This version, spiked with Captain Morgan, brings a sweet, spicy kick to your table.
Ingredients
- 1 (8-10 lb) fully cooked ham – go for bone-in for more flavor.
- 1 cup brown sugar – packed, for that deep molasses sweetness.
- 1/2 cup Captain Morgan Spiced Rum – the star of the show, don’t skimp.
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard – adds a tangy balance to the sweetness.
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar – a splash brightens the whole glaze.
- 1/2 tsp ground cloves – just a pinch, it’s potent but perfect here.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F. Place the ham on a rack in a roasting pan, fat side up.
- Score the ham in a diamond pattern, about 1/4 inch deep – this helps the glaze seep in.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, rum, mustard, vinegar, and cloves. Stir until the sugar dissolves, about 3 minutes. Tip: Don’t let it boil, just a gentle simmer to meld the flavors.
- Brush half the glaze over the ham, getting into the scores. Reserve the rest.
- Bake the ham, uncovered, for 1.5 hours, basting with the remaining glaze every 30 minutes. Tip: Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 140°F internally.
- Let the ham rest for 15 minutes before slicing. Tip: This keeps it juicy and makes slicing easier.
Keep the slices thick to savor the caramelized crust. The rum glaze forms a sticky, glossy coat that’s irresistible. Serve it with a side of roasted sweet potatoes for a meal that’s as festive as it is flavorful.

- Pineapple slices and mint leaves for garnish – because we eat with our eyes first.
Instructions
- In a large pitcher, combine Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum, coconut water, pineapple juice, lime juice, and simple syrup.
