Winter means grapefruit. Wednesday means wiggle-as in retro Jell-0. So how about some grapefruit boats?
Grapefruit Boats
5 grapefruit
3 pkgs lemon gelatin (small packages)
3/4 cup boiling water
1 TBSP. gelatin
1/2 c cold water
Cut grapefruit lengthwise; remove and cut up sections. Dissolve lemon gelatin in boiling water; dissolve gelatin in cold water. Combine all ingredients. Fill grapefruit shells. Congeal.
Dressing
1/3 cup sugar
2 TBSP. flour
2 egg yolks
Juice of 2 lemons
8 marshmallows
2/3 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. heavy cream, whipped
Combine all ingredients except pecans and whipped cream; cook until thickened. Cool; add nuts and whipped cream. Top each grapefruit with dressing. Yield: 20 servings.
I REALLY want to try this.
A. I always have extra egg yolks.
B. I’ve got one grapefruit that is about past it’s prime.
C. It’s congealed in it’s own bowl!!
