Said to have originated from Barbados, the fruit was named grapefruit because of the way the fruits grow in clusters like the grapes.<\/p>\n<p>Grapefruits were first introduced to the United States at Safety Harbor, Florida in 1823 by Count Odet Philippe. At first, people considered grapefruits as a novelty item and usually cringed at the bitter-tart taste of the white-variety grapefruits, which were the only varieties available at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the discovery of Ruby Red grapefruits in Texas, the ever-waning grapefruit industry was given a much needed boost. The red variety is so much sweeter and less acidic than its white counterpart. Further hybridization gave birth to sweeter and acid-less varieties years after the first red grapefruit cultivar was found. Grapefruit marmalade is a tasty treat. Try this recipe when you have a few extra grapefruit ready to use.<\/p>\n<h2>How to make Grapefruit Marmalade with Vanilla and Anise<\/h2>\n<p>Prep Time: 10 mins<\/p>\n<p>Ready in: 10 mins<\/p>\n<p>Yields: 3 servings<\/p>\n<p><strong>INGREDIENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 3\/4-pound <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pittmandavis.com\/ruby-red-grapefruit\/c\/ft_1001_2\/\">Pittman &amp; David Ruby Red Grapefruit<\/a> (about 2)<\/li>\n<li>2 star anise pods<\/li>\n<li>1 vanilla bean, halved lengthwise<\/li>\n<li>2 cups sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup fresh lemon juice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>DIRECTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Using a sharp knife, remove peel and white pith from 1 grapefruit and thinly slice.
