Holiday Ham with Rio Star Grapefruit Glaze

8 pound ready to eat boneless ham
3 Rio Star Grapefruit
1 cup dry white wine
6 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
½ cup water

Preheat oven to 325°. Score ham and place in a roasting pan. Bake for 90 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Squeeze the juice from two of the grapefruit and combine with the wine and honey. Pour over the ham and return to the oven. Bake for an additional 40 minutes, basting with the sauce every 10 minutes.

While ham is cooking, peel and section the remaining grapefruit. Remove the ham from the oven and transfer to a platter. Put the roasting pan on the stove over low heat. Combine the cornstarch and water. Add this liquid to the juices in the roasting pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and just boils. Pour it over the ham. Garnish with the extra grapefruit sections.
