Winter Fruit Bowl - grapefruits

Method

• 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.
