Ruby Grapefruit Cordial Recipes

RUBY GRAPEFRUIT CORDIAL

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Remove from the heat and immediately add the sugar, salt, and elderflowers, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let steep for 10 minutes and then strain. Let cool. Combine with the grapefruit juice to taste, and serve chilled or over ice.

PINK GRAPEFRUIT CORDIAL

Steps:

• Place sugar and water into a small saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Increase heat to high. Boil, without stirring, for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Pour pink grapefruit juice into a sealable jug. Add sugar syrup. Stir well to combine. Refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until chilled.
• To serve, one-third fill serving glasses with cordial. Top with water. Serve.
• Note: 12 pink grapefruit should give you 3 cups of juice.

RUBY GRAPEFRUIT GRANITA

Steps:

• Halve the grapefruits crosswise, and squeeze juice into a large wide bowl, allowing any pulp to fall in. Use a teaspoon to pluck out any seed or pith in the bowl.
• Whisk in sugar until completely dissolved. Pour mixture into a low baking dish to a depth of 1/2-inch. (A 9-by-13-inch baking dish will work.) Place the dish in the freezer for at least 4 hours or overnight, until frozen solid. The frozen mixture will look like packed snow.
• Use a fork to smash the frozen mixture into rough chunks and transfer to 6 serving glasses. Place glasses in the freezer until serving time. If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon orange flower water per glass.
