Pour back into saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture coats the back of a spoon. Add salt; cool over an ice bath. In blender, purée remaining lime zest, rum, lime juice, mint and vanilla; add to cooled cream mixture. Freeze in ice cream maker according to manufacturer’s directions. Store in freezer.
