Grapefruit recipes
In a "what a great sale" moment I bought a box of grapefruits but cannot eat one more for breakfast, any suggestions for what could be done with them?

There is a recipe for grapefruit sandwich cookies in Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. It looks great, I keep meaning to make them.

Both epicurious.com and williamssonoma.com have very good recipes if you search "grapefruit."
This is kind of a family issue for me. My dear departed grampa used to shop as a hobby when he lived with us in his later years. He jumped on good sales and forgot he'd done so. At one point I discovered the downstairs extra fridge was full of nothing but grapefruit, as were the 6 shopping bags on the cellar steps....

Drizzle with honey and broil for dessert.

Or sprinkle with brown sugar and broil, then put a maraschino cherry in the middle to be old school about it. I love broiled grapefruit-- such a yummy, easy and low-fat dessert. Perfect for post-Thanksgiving.

I'm totally addicted to chiffon cakes, so I'd make a grapefruit chiffon cake. I use basically the same recipe as a standard lemon or orange chiffon cake, but substitute grapefruit instead and when I glaze it I make the glaze with powdered sugar and grapefruit juice and then sprinkle a bit of finely grated peel on top.
You could also make grapefruit curd.

We just got our shipment of Texas Ruby Red Grapefruit from PITTMAN & DAVIS. I store them 4 to a large size freezer baggie in the Fridge, and they keep perfectly for a month or more,until they get used up. They are delicious plain, but I am saving the recipes in my file.
I save the peel, and freeze it until I have enough. I make candied grapefruit rind. Everyone loves it with an after dinner coffee, and I tuck little bags of it into gift baskets. Sometimes I dip it in bitter chocolate.

I send the suggestion of candied grapefruit rind. I make it for Christmas and it is a big hit. It is good for those who are watching their cholesterol.

Fleur, are the Texas Ruby Reds particularly good for candied peel? Or will any do?

just dump it in a ziplock and freeze it? it stays un-dry? do you thaw it before you candy it? any special tricks on thawing?
this is a great idea!

Do a search for "grapefruit pie" on this board... :-)

If you have an electric juicer, juice the grapefruits, slicing the rind from one fruit into slivers. Place juice with one grapefruit sliver each in ice cube trays. Freeze.
You'll have a fresh grapefruit add in for mixed drinks, ice tea, cocktails.

This is a most practical & good idea!! Thank you, HillJ !

I posted a recipe earlier for oranges in a spiced red wine syrup - bet it would work great with grapefruits, too.

There is a very tasty recipe for "Grapefruit Bars" over at All Recipes, but it only uses 3 tbls. juice and 3 tbls. grated peel ! Probably most desserts/breads using orange could be switched over to grapefruit. Muffins? Learn to juggle?

grapefruit sorbet/gelato is darn good if you have an ice cream maker. you can get old donvier machines at thrift stores for $5 or less, sometimes still in the box.

I made grapefuit curd once, but they were very tart grapefruit so it worked. I know this must sound gross but it is very popular in my family. I think it is caribbean in origin. I section the grapefruit and then mix it with sweetened condensed milk, usually I chill it for a couple hours before serving.
