Use 4 medium grapefruit. Supreme the grapefruit sections and drain well. Single pie crust, baked. Cover crust with layer of glazing. Arrange fruit slices on glaze and finish with the rest of the glazing. Chill and top with whipped cream.<br /><br />The pie is still pretty tart, despite the jello and added sugar, so although normally I'd recommend only very slightly sweetened whipped cream on a dessert, in this case it works better with something more traditionally sweet, almost Hostess-cupcake territory.<br /><br />The NPH is rounding me up some oyster recipes, which I'll post shortly. But you saw the link for the Jeffrey's oyster nachos, right? Killer, luscious recipe.<br /><br />Douglas, I was just puzzling over the number of days in Lent yesterday, unable to come up with an answer that would get me to 40. That explains it! The party, unfortunately, is always Saturday night, and midnight is a little late to start hitting the oyster shooters.Texan99https://www.blogger.com/profile/10479561573903660086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-68327015008190628062015-03-02T16:40:25.360-05:002015-03-02T16:40:25.360-05:00Me, too.

I'm trying to envision a grapefruit pie, and the only analogy I get would be to an orange cheesecake or key lime pie.<br /><br />ValerieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-76767606730378654022015-03-02T16:06:24.814-05:002015-03-02T16:06:24.814-05:00Recipes, or it didn't happen! :)Recipes, or it didn't happen! :)Cassnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-28666980599870720472015-03-02T14:04:42.829-05:002015-03-02T14:04:42.829-05:00You know Tex, Sundays aren't part of lent- you...You know Tex, <a href="http://www.aboutcatholics.com/beliefs/are-sundays-a-part-of-lent/" rel="nofollow">Sundays aren't part of lent</a>- you have automatic dispensation for the day. If you count 40 days from Ash Wednesday, you'll come up short of Easter- because of Sundays. They are still the weekly feast day in honor of the sacrifice of our lord.<br /><br />Sounds like a great party, even without the fire pit.douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241790925053112959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-71692092082798112542015-03-02T11:03:02.674-05:002015-03-02T11:03:02.674-05:00My favorite parties also tend to happen around the...My favorite parties also tend to happen around the firepit, and last long into the evening. <br /><br />Sounds like a very pleasant evening. Grapefruit pie is something that would not have occurred to me, but I can see how it might be good!Grimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07543082562999855432noreply@blogger.com
