Number Of Ingredients 6

3 medium grapefruits (about 3 cups fruit)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange marmalade
8 ounces fresh cranberries
3 medium bananas
fresh mint sprig (optional)

Steps:

  • To section grapefruit, cut off the ends of the grapefruit, then use a long, thin-bladed knife to cut out the core.
  • Resting one end of the grapefruit on a cutting board, cut off the peel in strips.
  • Peel the grapefruit apart and simply lift or pull each segment off the membrane, working over a bowl to catch juices.
  • Set grapefruit sections aside (should have about 3 cups).
  • Add enough water to the reserved grapefruit juice to measure 1 cup.
  • In a medium saucepan combine the 1 cup grapefruit juice, sugar, and marmalade.
  • Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar; reduce heat.
  • Add cranberries; cook and stir for 5-8 minutes or until skins pop.
  • Remove from heat; cool.
  • Add grapefruit sections.
  • Cover and chill.
  • Just before serving, slice bananas and stir into chilled grapefruit mixture.
  • Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
