Meanwhile, reduce 3 cups of cola over medium-high heat until syrupy (yields ½ cup). Stir in brown sugar, mustard powder, rum and lime juice. Raise oven heat to 425˚F. Meanwhile, discard foil and make shallow cross-hatch cuts over surface of ham. Using a pastry brush, cover ham with cola glaze and bake uncovered for 30 minutes, or until the ham's internal temperature is 140˚F. Brush on additional glaze every 10-15 minutes during cooking. Serve with the pan's juices.
