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.
