Honey Spiced Poached Grapefruit

1. 1

   Cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of grapefruits with a small serrated knife. Working from the top of the fruit to the bottom, follow the curve of the fruit to cut away peel and white pith.

2. 2

   With a paring knife, slice along one side of a segment, separating it from the thin membrane. Slice down the other side to remove the whole segment. Repeat with remaining segments. Work over a bowl to catch juices. Set aside.

3. 3

   In a large saucepan combine water, honey, sugar, grapefruit zest, ginger, cinnamon sticks and star anise.

4. 4

   Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve honey and sugar, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes.

5. 5

   Add grapefruit segments and juice and cook at a very gentle simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove fruit with slotted spoon and set aside.

6. 6

   Bring poaching liquid back to a boil and boil until mixture is reduced to about a cup of syrup.

7. 7

   Spoon syrup over grapefruit segments and chill for a least an hour before serving.
