Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces grapefruits peeled and sectioned
  • 0.5 lb honey
  • 0.5 lb turbinado sugar or white sugar, turbinado preferred

Equipment

  • Airtight glass container
  • Gloves

Method
 

  1. Carefully remove the skin of the grapefruits, ensuring most of the white pith is taken off to avoid bitterness.
  2. Peel off the thin skin or membrane around each pulp segment and remove any grapefruit seeds to prepare clean pulp.
  3. Combine the grapefruit pulp with honey and turbinado sugar, keeping the total sweetener to grapefruit ratio at 1:1 for balanced flavor.
  4. Use your hands (wear gloves) to mix and gently squeeze the pulp to release juice and integrate the sweeteners evenly.
  5. Transfer the mixture to a sanitized, airtight glass container and refrigerate for at least 1 week for best flavor development.
