Ingredients

  • 4 medium grapefruit
  • ½ cup orange marmalade
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 3 medium bananas

My Suggestions for Additional Ingredients

  • fall apples or pears, peeled
  • seedless grapes
  • red or white blackberries or blueberries, in season
  • vanilla yogurt on top would be another treat and if you were looking for a nutritious meal you might think about a little granola.

Instructions

  • I'm going to assume you are using fresh grapefruit. Not as easy as the slices you find in a jar, but much more flavorful. If using fresh grapefruit, peel them, remove the pith, and section and be sure to work over a bowl so you can reserve any juices. If you use the jarred slices, use the liquid they come in.
  • It would help if you had a cup of liquid, so in a medium-sized saucepan, add enough water to the natural juices to end up with a cup.
  • To this, add the marmalade and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Be sure to stir until the sugar dissolves.
  • Add the fresh cranberries and cook until the skins pop. This should take about 5 minutes but can take more. Immediately remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
  • Add your grapefruit slices, cover them, and chill in the refrigerator.
  • Before serving, slice the bananas, add them to the fruit bowl, and serve.
