Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Fit a large roasting pan with a rack; place the ham on the rack. Cover tightly with foil. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, 4 hours.
Step 2
Meanwhile, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the jam until liquefied. Strain through a fine sieve into a small bowl; discard the solids. Stir in the mustard, maple syrup, rum, and garlic.
Step 3
After 4 hours, remove the ham from the oven, and brush with the glaze. Continue baking the ham, glazing every 15 minutes, until an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part of the ham (avoiding bone) registers 140°F, about 1 hour more.
Step 4
Remove from the oven, and transfer to a carving board or platter. Garnish the ham with bay leaves and kumquats, if desired. Slice thinly around the bone, and serve hot or at room temperature.
