  • “This recipe was a hit from those that don’t even like cranberries (myself included) The grapefruit really helped to give it a change of flavor. Since I don’t have a food processor, I cooked the cranberries till they popped, then just whisked them in with the rest of the ingredients. Worked perfectly.”

  • “My Mom sent us a case of grapefruit – so I’ve been trying to use it up.I liked this so much more than I thought I would.I don’t quite know what to do with it – but that’s ok, because so far, I have just been sneaking to the fridge to get spoonfull after spoonfull.It is so refreshing and “cheerful” tasting.Thanks for sharing!”

  • “This was GREAT.I’m just sorry I didn’t get it made at Thanksgiving — I’d bought all the ingredients, but had four other kinds of cranberry sauce already made, so didn’t get to this one … I love the combination of citrus; it gives the relish a much more complex and interesting flavor than the normal orange.Unfortunately the fresh grapefruit aren’t very good yet, so the ones I used were very trat — which meant having to use 3/4 cup sugar.Lovely relish — I’ll definitely make it again!Thanks for posting this.”

  • “I made this for my office’s Thanksgiving pitch-in. Everyone loved it. Half a cup of sugar was perfect. “
