When your grapefruit runneth over
Posted January 31, 2011 at 9:30 pm by carrie
I just started eating the grapefruits off of my tree.
They aren’t fully baked yet, but seeing that we have 3 trees, that’s going to mean a LOT of grapefruit, for me, as well as the rest of my area of Cenpho.
What are you going to do with all your fruit?
1) Eat them for breakfast
You think of grapefruits as something your mom ate when she was trying to lose weight. Sprinkle a little sugar on them, and they’re delicious!
2) Hide booze in it
Grapefruit juice hides LOADS of vodka. Try a greyhound (vodka + grapefruit juice) or a salty dog (vodka + grapefruit juice + salted rim), or some fancier concoctions.
3) Make a frozen dessert
This recipe for a grapefruit granita seems both easy and really refreshing/delicious.
Any other ideas?

I will have the same exact problem soon. My thought was to try a grapefruit vanilla marmalade or something. Tho’ I don’t want to make a big batch and not like it. I’m a sugar on top girl for sure. Or just segment them into salads and squeeze the juice for the dressing.

Avocado and grapefruit salad is my favorite. I might throw them on a bed of butter lettuce, add a sprinkle of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Maybe add a couple of pan fried shrimp if I’m so inclined. Yum.
