FLAVOR PROFILE
INGREDIENTS
- 1 Ruby Red Grapefruit
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 Cup boiling water
INSTRUCTIONS
Step one
Peel the zest from the grapefruit in wide, fat swaths using a vegetable peeler (or Y-peeler if you have one), leaving the white pith behind. Place the peels in a large mixing bowl.
Step two
Pour the sugar on top of the grapefruit zest and stir to cover.
Step three
Cover the bowl in plastic wrap and let the mixture sit for at least 3 hours in the refrigerator. The longer the peels steep, the more the flavor will intensify. A 24-hour steep time is optimum.
Step four
After steeping, add the boiling water to the bowl and stir until the sugar completely dissolves. Strain the syrup through a fine sieve while hot to remove the peels. Bottle.
Step five
The finished grapefruit oleo saccharum will keep for at least a month if stored in the fridge.
