My mom and I picked as many as we could...and then I climbed the tree to get the really good ones at the top...throwing them down and my mom catching them :-) I couldn't stop myself...just had to get that big yellow one...just out of reach!! Three laundry baskets later....
Now I am squeezin' them and making the best grapefruit juice you've ever tasted.
First - you have to wash them because they are not like what you buy in the store. They are kind of dirty and organic. Fill up the sink with water and grapefruits...and put a little salt in it. Just scrub them a little to make sure there are no bugs & stuff.
Second - Get your area organized and your containers washed and ready. Have a trash can near by for peels and seeds. Do not put them in your garbage disposal....there are lots of seeds and they can possibly get all stuck up in there and shut it down...(how do I know that??)
Third - Start squeezin' em! It takes a lot of fruit to make a gallon of juice. I put one in the fridge and the rest in sealed containers in the freezer. It thaws out nice and tastes just as fresh.
Just one of the reasons I LOVE FLORIDA!
