Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 pink grapefruits
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon fresh mint, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your ingredients. Carefully wash the pink grapefruits under cool running water to remove any dirt or wax. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the grapefruits in half horizontally. To create supremes, carefully cut along the inner membrane of each segment using a paring knife, releasing the segments from the rind. Make sure to do this over a bowl to catch any juice.
- Once all the segments are removed, place them in a serving bowl. If you have any remaining juice from the grapefruits, drizzle it over the segments for added flavor.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the honey, chopped fresh mint, and lime juice. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
- Drizzle the honey mint mixture over the grapefruit segments, ensuring that each segment is evenly coated.
- For an added touch, you can garnish with additional mint leaves or a sprinkle of lime zest if desired.
- Serve immediately as a refreshing and vibrant dish for your Christmas brunch. Enjoy the bright flavors and the festive presentation!
Tips
- Choose ripe, firm grapefruits with a vibrant pink color for the best flavor and juiciness.
- Use a sharp, thin-bladed paring knife when removing supreme segments to ensure clean, precise cuts.
- To make supreme removal easier, first cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit to create a stable base.
- Chill the grapefruit segments before serving for an extra refreshing touch.
- For a more intense mint flavor, slightly muddle the mint leaves before chopping to release their essential oils.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, adjust the honey quantity to taste.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
