How to Make Ruby Red Grapefruit Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  6. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the grapefruit juice, sugar, eggs, and zest.
  7. Pour the grapefruit mixture evenly over the baked crust.
  8. Bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden.
  9. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
