Recipe Note
To section your grapefruit, use a serrated knife to first cut a small slice from the bottom of the grapefruit through the rind and outer membrane to reveal the pink flesh. This will enable the fruit to sit squarely on your cutting board for the next step.
Beginning at the top of the grapefruit, follow the contour of the fruit and slice toward the bottom cutting off all the rind. The sections are now visible. Holding the fruit securely in one hand (over a bowl since it’s a juicy task), insert your knife between the membrane and flesh, angling toward the core to remove each segment. Continue until all the beautiful, pink segments have been removed and are ready to be enjoyed.
