32 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 pounds Ready-to-eat boneless lean ham
3 larges Grapefruit; divided use
1 cup Dry white wine
6 tablespoons Honey
1 tablespoon Cornstarch
½ cup Water

Directions

Ready in 2+½ hours. Bittersweet grapefruit combines well with the honey and salty ham.

1. Preheat the oven to 325F. Remove any visible fat/jelly from the ham.

Place on a trivet in a roasting pan. Bake for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven. Score into diamonds.

2. Squeeze the juice from two of the grapefruit and combine it with the wine and honey. Pour over the ham and return the meat to the oven. Bake for 40 minutes, pasting every 10 minutes.

3. While ham is cooking, peel and section the remaining grapefruit, discarding as much pith and skin as possible.

4. Remove ham from oven and transfer to a platter for serving. Put the roasting pan on the stove over low heat. Combine the cornstarch and water.

Add this liquid to the liquid in the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid thickens and boils. Pour it over the ham. Garnish with grapefruit sections.
