White grapefruit ideas please

There was a pick-your-own last weekend. I got some lovely fragrant grapefruit with marmalade in mind. I made a batch and still have an awful lot of grapefruit left over.

Any ideas?

    cut it in half, sprinkle brown sugar over the top. stick it under the broiler till sugar is bubbly on top. slice inside and around skin/rind with a serrated knife, then make cuts radiating from the center. eat. shake head in wonderment at the transformation.

    for a cocktail, juice one and mix it with vodka, serving it in a salt-rimmed glass: a salty dog. great summer refreshment.

      Make grapefruit ice cream or a semifreddo.

        Grapefruit and beet make a lovely salad. You might also mix it with watermelon and a crumbly white cheese.

          My father comes back to Minnesota with boxes of grapefruit each spring after spending the winter in Arizona. I too would like some ideas. Frankly, other than eating them plain or in a fruit salad, I'm mostly stumped. We usually end up squeezing most of it for juice and then freezing it.
