ingredients

3 medium grapefruits (about 3 cups fruit)
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
¹⁄₂ cup orange marmalade
8 ounces fresh cranberries
3 medium bananas
fresh mint sprig (optional)

directions

To section grapefruit, cut off the ends of the grapefruit, then use a long, thin-bladed knife to cut out the core.
Resting one end of the grapefruit on a cutting board, cut off the peel in strips.
Peel the grapefruit apart and simply lift or pull each segment off the membrane, working over a bowl to catch juices.
Set grapefruit sections aside (should have about 3 cups).
Add enough water to the reserved grapefruit juice to measure 1 cup.
In a medium saucepan combine the 1 cup grapefruit juice, sugar, and marmalade.
Bring to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar; reduce heat.
Add cranberries; cook and stir for 5-8 minutes or until skins pop.
Remove from heat; cool.
Add grapefruit sections.
Cover and chill.
Just before serving, slice bananas and stir into chilled grapefruit mixture.
Garnish with fresh mint, if desired.
