How to Make Rasta Ham

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
Place ham in a large roasting pan.
In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup Jamaican Pickapeppa sauce, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons allspice, and 1 large chopped onion.
Drizzle the sauce mixture evenly over the ham and onions.
Pour 1 cup orange juice and 1/4 cup dark rum into the bottom of the roasting pan.
Bake for 140 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the ham reaches 145°F (63°C).
During the last 30 minutes of cooking, baste the ham with the pan juices every 10 minutes.
Remove from oven and let rest for 15-20 minutes before slicing and serving.
Drizzle pan juices over sliced ham and served sweet potatoes.
