How to Make Honey Spiced Poached Grapefruit
- Using a sharp knife, carefully slice off the top and bottom of each grapefruit.
- Standing the grapefruit upright, use a sharp knife to cut away the peel and white pith, following the curve of the fruit. Try to remove as much pith as possible.
- Using a paring knife, carefully separate each grapefruit segment from the membranes by slicing along both sides of each segment.
- Gently remove all segments, working over a bowl to collect any juices.
- Set grapefruit segments and juice aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the water, honey, sugar, grapefruit zest, ginger, cinnamon sticks, and star anise.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the honey and sugar are completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low, and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Gently add the grapefruit segments and collected juice to the poaching liquid. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the segments are slightly softened but still hold their shape.
- Remove the grapefruit segments from the poaching liquid using a slotted spoon and set aside.
- Increase heat to medium-high and continue to boil the poaching liquid until it reduces to about 1 cup of thick syrup (about 10-15 minutes).
- Pour the reduced syrup over the grapefruit segments.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the grapefruit to chill. Serve chilled with yogurt, fromage blanc, or vanilla ice cream.
