How to Make Berry Grapefruit Cup

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 cup water.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  4. Continue to simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries to the saucepan.
  6. Cook until the cranberry skins have popped and the mixture has thickened, about 5-7 minutes more. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cranberry mixture cool completely.
  8. While the cranberry mixture cools, section 2 large grapefruits, removing all the membranes and discarding any seeds.
  9. Once the cranberry mixture is chilled, gently pour it over the grapefruit sections in individual serving bowls or glasses.
  10. Serve immediately or chill for later. Garnish with fresh mint leaves (optional).
