There aren't a lot of Pink Grapefruit Pie recipes out there, which is probably why I originally tried this one. Turn out it's very good! Since making it the first time I've made it a couple more times for my husband.

I really need to update the photo for this one because it's the perfect pie for people who love grapefruit. I generally make this when someone sends us a big bag of Ruby Reds, but the pie is good enough to make more often and with any good grapefruit. I haven't ever tried it with canned grapefruit, but that might actually work well too.
Another thing you could try to save time (and cleanup) is a store bought graham cracker crust. The Pink Grapefruit Pie filling amount should fit. You might end up piling it a little higher than in the photo, but that would probably be a good thing.

Ok, anyone who says they appreciate all jokes equally (Ernest Holings!) clearly has been a politician too long! Talk about trying to give the most PC response - hahaha 🙂
