Isn’t it a wonderful serendipity that jewel-toned fruits, like pomegranates and grapefruit, are most available when it is so dreary, cold and grey?
I took advantage of these winter specialties and brightened up my day with this chic honey-sweetened Grapefruit Geleé. If you haven’t noticed, I’ve started to market my recipes with fancy-shmancy sounding names like “Caramelized Onion Sardine Paté” instead of “Mashed Sardines.” Don’t you think Honey Grapefruit Geleé sounds worlds better than Grapefruit Jello?
Isn’t it pretty? The color brings back fond memories of my Grandma’s peach-colored bathroom with an intricate, gold-plated fish sculpture for the faucet. Walking into that bathroom was like stepping into 1952. It was awesome.
Site Woes
Yes, I know my site is super-slow and takes forever to load. THANK YOU for your patience! I’m spending all day tomorrow trying to figure out what the heck “defer parsing of javascript” means and how to do it. (I’m afraid my brain will melt…your prayers for the contrary will be appreciated!). It seems like I’ve done everything else that is free to speed up Empowered Sustenance.
Anyway, just hang on. I’m going to figure this out!…Famous last words?
Favorite Gelatin
I’ve mentioned this before, but I highly recommend Great Lakes Grassfed Gelatin. It’s the only grassfed gelatin on the market. As with all animal products, is very important to source gelatin from healthy, happy animals!
Honey Grapefruit Gelee
Ingredients
- 2 cups freshly squeezed grapefruit juice (3-4 large grapefruits)
- 5 tsp. grassfed gelatin
- 2 heaping tbs. raw honey
- Pomegranate seeds, if desired
Instructions
- In a saucepan, whisk together the grapefruit juice and gelatin. Let sit 5 minutes. Then, turn the burner on medium and whisk until the gelatin has dissolved.
- Let the mixture cool until it is just warm to the touch. Whisk in the honey. (Cooling the mixture preserves the enzymes in the raw honey). Pour into a container and chill until firm. Cut into bite-sized pieces, garnish with pomegranate seeds and enjoy!

The Gelee sounds absolutely divine, and not only does it sound better to name it Gelee, it will taste better.
Thanks for the recipe, I hope I can try it soon. I’m just on intro, so I think I have to hold off a bit. If you know otherwise, say so because a ‘treat’ even if it’s just jello…oh hmm Gelee, would be welcome right about now.
Good luck as you get through the intro diet… that is the hardest part. Grassfed gelatin is fine on the intro diet, but I would still hold off on this because it has a lot of fruit sugars. Plus, citrus fruits can sometimes be hard to digest. Best wishes on your GAPS journey!!
It looks amazing Lauren, I know what treat I am making for my girls with the grapefruits I just picked! Thanks!
Just made this recipe, now I am waiting for the gelee to cool down
I used cranberry infused honey!

How did I not discover your website sooner?!! This is awesome and so are you. I am loving everything I am reading on here – just wanted to let you know
Awww, shucks
And what a coincidence! I just found your site though Pinterest today and I love it! Sooo gonna try that Rock Salt Roasted Chicken next week.
Just received my Great Lakes gelatin and very excited to make some of your recipes, please tell me if it tastes of the awful smell coming from it ?!!!
I know the smell is unpleasant. It has a slight but not unpleasant flavor, I don’t even taste it any more because I am used to it. There is no flavor when it is made in this recipe or my other recipes because the ingredients “hide” the faint gelatin taste.
