I used this recipe for lemon curd (but I halved the quantities in the recipe), which works extremely well. It also appeals heaps, because it uses whole eggs. I modified the recipe slightly, instead of sugar I used honey.
Zest and juice your grapefruit. I used two biggish ones. You could use more, if you want a big hit of grapefruit.
4 eggs - lightly beaten100g unsalted butter
100g honey
Put all ingredients in a heatproof bowl.
Stir until it thickens, then pour into clean, sterilised jars.
It's really nice, and even if you are not a big fan of grapefruit, you might like it. It doesn't taste too grapefruity. Just has a nice tang.Curd does freeze beautifully. I just bung the jars into the freezer, and Bob's your uncle. Lemon or grapefruit curd, whenever you feel like it.

That's a good recipe, I must try it. I am a big jam maker.
Bridget, have fun with it! I am sure it'll turn out lovely. :)
I am thinking of making this on this weekend if I manage to steal some time. Not sure whether I have honey in my pantry at the moment. Just wondering if I use sugar how much should I used?
200g of sugar and you'll be right. It'll be just as nice. Have fun! :)
