For a deeper flavor, consider using a dark brown sugar. Avoid burning the butter by reducing the heat when required. The glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Gently reheat before using. Experiment with different types of rum or mustard to customize the flavor profile. Bourbon, scotch or rye can be subtituted to the Rum, or Dijon mustard, or whole grain mustard can be subtituted to the spicy mustard.
