**Full Disclosure: I received a box full of TexaSweet Rio Star Grapefruits at no cost to me. All opinions are my own.
I saw this Grapefruit Pie recipe come through my Pinterest feed several weeks ago. Because I knew I had a box of TexaSweet Rio Star grapefruits coming, I pinned it so I could make the pie with my boys. The plan was to serve it for Thanksgiving dessert.
Colin tried to help me juice the grapefruits but he didn’t have enough arm strength so I finished that task.
I blind baked the pie crust. Then Colin whisked everything together and I poured the grapefruit mixture into the crust. We baked it as directed … and I pulled it out of the oven like this:
Talk about a pie failure!! Aside from the burning smell, it smelled like it would have been delicious.

I didn’t even know there were any grapefruit recipes! But I LOVE eating grapefruit. This looks delicious!
Oh, there are a number of recipes out there! Here’s one site I use: http://www.texasweet.com/category/recipes/
That is too bad! At least you had fun making it! I’ve never even heard of a grapefruit pie before!!
This is an interesting one, grapefruit pie, never heard of it, I like eat the grapefruit as it is, with some sugar on top, or in juice form, but never have I tried baking with it.
I never heard of a grapefruit pie! But your pie does not look bad. What was wrong with it. This would have been an interesting pie to try! I have only eaten the grapefruit fresh. I have never made anything with it.
The crust was completely burnt and the filling wasn’t quite done. I think it would have been good, though! I will definitely try it again!
I have never tried baking with grapefruit. I am going to look for some recipes
