Grapefruit
Grapefruit is not something I freeze often but it can be frozen very well. Part of the citrus family the instructions are the same as the ones for oranges.
Preparation
You can leave a grapefruit whole or divide into segments (remove the pith though). Alternatively slice or zest it. Remove the pips / seeds if you can.
Packaging
Label and date your storage container.
Whole - wrap individually in cling film, bags or aluminium foil.
Segments and slices - best to open flash freeze first and then pack in freezer bags.
Zest - did you know you can zest a frozen grapefruit as well. If you have the zest from a grapefruit place this in a freezer bag for storage.
Grapefruit Juice - freeze in ice cube trays and then place these in a freezer bag. You may prefer to wrap individually in foil when frozen but I prefer not to.
Alternatively - pack slices in freezer containers with sugar or a light syrup. Peeled grapefruit slices can be stored in a light syrup (7 oz sugar to 1 pint of water).
Thawing
Thaw the grapefruit (unwrapped) at room temperature for up to 2 1/2 hours.
Storage Time
12 months
