Honey grapefruit ice cream

So I am a big fan of grapefruit amongst other fruits.  They seem to have very few uses.  There’s juice and there’s split it in half and sprinkle it with sugar or salt.  There are like a thousand things you can make out of strawberries.  What happened to the grapefruit?  I realize its a New World fruit but that still leaves a period of 500 or so years in which to write recipes.  I thought long and hard about what would be a good pairing for grapefruit.  I came up with honey.  It seemed better than vanilla and more special than sweetened cream.  On to the recipe.

  • 1/2 batch of red grapefruit jam
