There's a grapefruit tree in our backyard, so I like to use fresh grapefruit juice when I make this pie. I just love the unique citrus flavor of this dessert.

I meant to write ... so I halved the quantities OF SUGAR .....
Here in England we don't have grapefruit growing out of doors - so mine came from the supermarket.The recipe as given is too sweet for English tastes (unless you have particularly sour fruit) so I halved the quantities and it was just right.Make sure you pour the filling into the pastry case as soon as the butter has melted or the mixture will start to set in the pan!

This was unusual but very good (if you like grapefruit). It's just like a lemon meringue pie but with grapefruit. Try it!
