This morning's breakfast provided that perfect pucker. The cranberries are macerated in a sugar syrup and combined with juicy grapefruit. This is a tart lover's paradise and a crisp and flavorful way to start the day. The cranberry syrup can be made ahead and stored in the fridge. You can also use the the grapefruit that is already peeled and sectioned in jars from your produce department, if you need a time saver. If you like tangy, but slightly sweet treats, you should try a Cranberry Grapefruit Cup.
Cranberry Grapefruit Cup
1 cup sugar
2 cups cranberries
3 grapefruits, peeled and sectioned

In a saucepan, combine sugar and water; boil; stir to dissolve sugar.
Boil for 5 minutes.
Add cranberries; cook until skins pop, about 5 minutes more.

Pour cranberry mixture over grapefruit sections in individual servings bowls. (Serves 6)
I am right there with you -- although a later-in-life discoverer of the joy that is a cranberry :)
ReplyDeleteI must try that grapefruit-cranberry dish. It is beautiful in your photo and looks so tasty! :-)
