Anything a lemon can do, a grapefruit can do better, says Warren Elwin.

Ingredients

2	Grapefruit, freshly zested (Main)
1 cup	Grapefruit juice
⅓ cup	Caster sugar
75 g	Butter
4	Eggs, yolks only, lightly beaten

Directions

1. Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl.
2. Put the grapefruit zest, grapefruit juice, caster sugar, butter and lightly beaten egg yolks in the bowl and stir with a whisk until it has melted together.
3. Cook the mixture, stirring regularly until it thickens (about 15 minutes). Remove from the heat and leave to cool, stirring occasionally.
4. Place in sterilised jars and store in fridge.
