I used this recipe for lemon curd (but I halved the quantities in the recipe), which works extremely well. It also appeals heaps, because it uses whole eggs. I modified the recipe slightly, instead of sugar I used honey.
Zest and juice your grapefruit. I used two biggish ones. You could use more, if you want a big hit of grapefruit.
4 eggs - lightly beaten100g unsalted butter
100g honey
Put all ingredients in a heatproof bowl.
Stir until it thickens, then pour into clean, sterilised jars.
It's really nice, and even if you are not a big fan of grapefruit, you might like it. It doesn't taste too grapefruity. Just has a nice tang.Curd does freeze beautifully. I just bung the jars into the freezer, and Bob's your uncle. Lemon or grapefruit curd, whenever you feel like it.

Thankyou for sharing this recipe! I have a tree loaded with grapefruit and no idea what to do with them, because I don't really like them! I used them in a recipe for lemon syrup cake though, and that worked brilliantly.
Ginger, I hope you have fun with that recipe. It's dead easy and delicious! :)
Not familiar with curd. But they do look very sedap.
M-K Girl - it is very similar to Kaya! Instead of the coconut you have grapefruit or lemon. :)
