Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 red grapefruit
1 cup sugar
1 to 2 sprigs fresh rosemary, plus more, for garnish (optional)
1 best-quality pound cake, sliced, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a sharp paring knife, slice off stem and blossom ends of each grapefruit. Cut away the peel, and cut along the membranes to release segments. Place in a medium bowl, and set aside. Squeeze juice from membranes into a small saucepan.
  • Add sugar to juice in pan; bring to a boil over high. Add rosemary, and reduce heat to medium. Cook until liquid is syrupy, about 2 minutes. With a slotted spoon, remove rosemary and discard.
  • Pour syrup over grapefruit in bowl; cover, and refrigerate until chilled, 45 minutes to 1 hour. To serve, spoon compote over pound cake slices, and garnish with rosemary sprigs, if desired.
