Sparkling Grapefruit Pie Recipe

Sparkling Grapefruit Pie Recipe

  • 1 (9 inch) pie crust, baked
  • 4 pink grapefruit
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 3/4 cup grapefruit juice
  • 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry flavored Jell-O®
  1. Peel grapefruit, removing all pith. Cut up into bite-size pieces. Drain in a strainer for 4 or more hours, collecting the juice. (This can be done the day before.)
  2. Combine the sugar, cornstarch, and 3/4 cup juice in a small saucepan; if the collected juice does not measure 3/4 cup, top it off with water. Bring to a boil. Stir in strawberry gelatin. Cool slightly.
  3. Spread grapefruit in the bottom of the baked shell, and pour gelatin over the fruit. Chill several hours or overnight.
