- One challenge in cooking with grapefruit is peeling away the thick pith beneath the skin and the bitter membrane that surrounds the pulp.
- The solution is a culinary technique called supreming.
- Heres how to do it:
- Trim ends all the way to juicy flesh.
- Stand fruit upright, and remove peel and pith with knife, following curve of fruit from top to bottom.
- (A small, serrated paring knife works best.)
- Holding fruit over a bowl, cut sections along membranes as if you were
- slicing out a wedge, releasing them one by one.
- Set supremes aside, and squeeze membrane skeleton over bowl to release any remaining juice.
