While the pork is roasting, remove 3 or 4 long strips of zest from one of the grapefruits with a vegetable peeler.
  4. Scrape off as much of the pith as possible.
  5. Then cut the peeling into julienne strips to make about 1/4 cup.
  6. Cut away the zest, pith and membranes of all 3 grapefruit and working over a bowl to catch all the juice, cut the flesh into sections.
  7. Transfer the sections to a sieve, over a bowl, to catch any juice the section will give off.
  8. In a small saucepan combine 3 tblsp of the sug- ar, the zest strips and 1/2 cup of the reserved juice.
  9. Bring to a boil, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture has thick- ened and turned a light caramel.
  10. When done transfer the pork to a cutting board to rest.
  11. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  12. De glaze the roasting pan with the wine, scrap- ing up the brown bits in the pan, until the wine is reduced almost completely, then add the broth.
  13. Pour this de glazing mixture through a fine sieve into the pan containing the zest mixture, pressing hard on the solids to remove all of the liquids Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring.
  14. Add the Beurre manie, a little at a time, whisking until the gravy is smooth.
