Ingredients
  

  • 4 Pink Grapefruits Large
  • 2 Cups Sugar
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Zest of Grapefruits
  • 1 Tsp Citric Acid Optional

Instructions
 

  • Zest and juice the grapefruits. Zest first while the fruit is firm then juice all four. Set both aside.
  • In a saucepan, combine the juice, water, sugar and zest. Stir well to dissolve the sugar evenly.
  • Bring to a gentle boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10-20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  • Turn off the heat. Add lemon juice and optional citric acid for brightness and longer shelf life.
  • Strain the cordial through a fine mesh sieve to remove pulp and zest. Let it cool to room temperature.
  • Pour into clean glass bottles or jars, seal tightly and store in the fridge.
