Grapefruit Pie image

I first heard about Grapefruit Pie on a TV show called Texas Country Reporter. I got the recipe from Klement's Citrus Grove & Country Store in McAllen, TX. I've made this many, many times and even folks who say "I don't like grapefruit!" always seem to LOVE this pie! It's perfect on a hot summer day. It's good as is, or with...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pie shell, baked (i use a deep dish)
3 or 4 large ruby red grapefruit, peeled and sectioned
1 - 3 oz. pkg strawberry jello
1 1/3 c water
1 c sugar
2 tsp corn starch

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and section grapefruit. Be sure to remove all the white pith because it will make the pie bitter. I remove all the membrane from each section. Cut each section in half. Place sections in a colander over a bowl and let juice drain, but do NOT squeeze or mash.
  • 2. Heat water to boiling. Combine Jello, sugar and corn starch in small bowl. Pour boiling water in and mix until Jello and sugar is dissolved. Let cool to room temperature.
  • 3. Gently stir grapefruit sections into Jello mixture, being careful not to mash sections too much. You want them to stay plump and juicy! Place in refrigerator and chill until set.
  • 4. Serve plain or with whipped cream or ice cream.
  • 5. I have also made this pie using sugar-free Jello and Splenda. No one I served it to could tell the difference!
