(Total Time: 45 min)
Ingredients

  • 2  pink or red grapefruits
  • 6  navel oranges
  • 10  clementines
  • 1/4 cup(s) sugar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) crystallized ginger, minced

Directions

  1. Finely grate 1 teaspoon each of grapefruit zest, orange zest, and clementine zest into a large bowl and add the sugar.
  2. Using a sharp knife, peel the citrus, removing all of the bitter white pith.
