Method
- Preheat the oven to 150°C, 300°F, Gas Mark 2.
- Pare the zest finely from both grapefruit. Put the sugar and water into a small saucepan and heat gently until just dissolved. Add the zest and simmer very gently for 5 minutes.
- Remove the zest from the syrup with a fork. Spread the zest out over the lined baking sheet, using two forks to separate the strands. Place in the oven for 10–15 minutes until crisp and dry. Leave to cool.
- Using a sharp knife, very carefully remove the pith from one of the grapefruit and cut out the segments. Cut the segments in half. Squeeze the juice from the remaining grapefruit.
