Favorite fruits of the winter months - grapefruit and cranberries - are combined in this fruit salad, which also can be served as a refreshing dessert. Ready in: approx. 2 Hours 25 Minutes. Makes 10 servings
3 medium grapefruit
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup orange marmalade
2 cups cranberries (8 ounces)
3 medium bananas, sliced
Directions
1 Cut a thin slice from each end of each grapefruit. Using a very sharp utility knife or a serrated knife and cutting from the top of the fruit down, cut off the grapefruit peel and the white membrane. (Or, cut around the fruit in a spiral.) Working over a bowl to catch the juices, cut between one fruit section and the membrane. Cut to the center of
the fruit. Turn the knife and slide it up the other side of the section next to the membrane; repeat to make sections. Remove any seeds from the fruit sections. Set
grapefruit sections aside (should have about 3 cups).
2 Add enough water to the reserved grapefruit juice to measure 1 cup. In a medium saucepan combine the 1 cup grapefruit juice, the sugar, and marmalade. Heat to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add cranberries; cook and stir for 5 to 8 minutes or until skins pop. Remove from heat; cool. Stir grapefruit into cranberry mixture. Cover and
refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.
3 Just before serving, stir sliced bananas into chilled grapefruit mixture.
