So I was given a box of grapefruits and I'm not sure what to do with them. I tried baking them with stevia and cinnamon. Warm grapefruit in my mouth was not so pleasant. I saw a recipe for grapefruit cookies but that just defeats the purpose! :D Any ideas? Recipes to share?

    I'll take them !

    I eat them plain, sliced like an orange ......... my husband loves grapefruit but can't have it ...... reacts with some of his medication .......

    I've never heard of cooking anything with grapefruit. When I was in college, I was on a very tight budget, especially at the end of the semester. One December, I lived on grapefruit and plain yogurt for two meals a day for a few weeks. Grapefruit lasts a long time in the fridge, if you have space. Good luck!

    Cut the fruit into wedges, and then slice the fruit out of the skin with a sharp paring knife. Cut into bite sized pieces into a bowl. Add a couple of spoons of nonfat greek yogurt (with vanilla). Stir to coat the grapefruit. Sprinkle on some cinnnamon and top with chopped walnuts. :wink:

    I just eat it the way it is. I'll only eat red grapefruit, though. I peel it and remove the outside of the sections so I just get the pulp...very messy, but very yummy. Most people cut them in half and scoop out the pulp with a spoon.

    I have never heard of anyone baking their grapefruit - I am guessing you don't like grapefruit raw, so I am sure juicing them wouldn't be desirable, either.

    You can always give them away to people who do like grapefruit.

    I wish someone would give me a box of grapefruit. I love those things!

    Thanks ya'll! I like them raw I just get tired of the bitterness after so many. I also wanted something creative to do so my family could eat them too!

    The Grapefruit cannon was an awesome idea!

    Buy some small gift bags and give several people two or three as Christmas gifts.

    Donate your excess to a food bank

    Juice them and then freeze in small batches. I like to add grapefruit juice to orange juice for a little extra tang.

    Grapefruit salad dressing. Use a touch of honey to cut the acidity. Great on spinach salads.

    Also, remove the zest and freeze it. Great on chicken.

    Refrigerate and eat them? Sorry but I love those things. Juice them, or cut them up and mix them with sweeter fruit maybe.

    This.

    You can substitute it for oranges in most recipes. I had a grapefruit cake once that was incredible.

    EAT EM! as it is. they prove to be some lovely snack for late night food cravings.
