Hi has anyone got an easy Grapefruit Juice recipe that will last a couple of days in the fridge and even maybe be suitable for freezing!I have heaps of grapefruit and am not into making preserves so thought juice might be a go!Thanks

I like the grapefruit just as they are, so would just squeeze then freeze or refrigerate.However, many people find them too sour that way and add sugar to their liking.

My good lemonade has equal parts sugar and water boiled together until dissolved. use this to sweeten the juice to taste. Also once squeezed, boil the skins up and then strain that liquid into it as well. I'm sure that would work for GF too. Yum, I love grapefruit, too!

we used to squeeze the juice and then fill plastic containers like used cottage cheese pots and similar then freeze them, then when we wanted to use just run outside of container under hot water till loose then tip into jug and add water and sugar to taste and stir.
ETA you could do similar using ice cube trays then just add a couple of cubes and sugar to a glass of water and stir

Harris lucinda - I'd like to have a go at making your spread recipe. Do you have to keep it in the fridge!
