There is a new brand of Texas Red Grapefruits on the market! Wonderful Sweet Scarletts were launched nationwide last year. These Texas Red Grapefruits are going to change the way you think of grapefruit; they are sweet, low calorie and full of Vitamin C. Texas provides a great environment for growing grapefruits. The warm sunny days and cool nights nurture the fruit from the ground up.

Today I want to share a recipe my daughters and I created. We were inspired by the traditional jam print cookie recipe. We decided to incorporate our Wonderful Sweet Scarletts for a fresh twist.

Ingredients:

2/3 cup softened butter

1/2 cup sugar

2 eggs at room temperature

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup jam (we used homemade blueberry)

Zest from a Wonderful Sweet Scarlett grapefruit

Juice from 1/2 a Wonderful Sweet Scarlett grapefruit

Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions:

Beat Butter with an electric mixer on medium speed for 30 seconds. Add sugar. Beat until well combined. Add in eggs and vanilla and combine. Beat in as much flower as you can then stir in any remaining. Let the dough mix chill for one hour.

While the dough is in the refrigerator, prepare your jam. In a small sauce pan, mix your jam with grapefruit zest and juice. Allow this sauce to reduce until it is thick.

Once your dough has been chilled, shape dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a greased or lined cookie sheets. Press your thumb into the middle of the dough ball to create a well for your jam sauce. Place 1 tsp. of your sauce into the center of your thumb well.

Bake cookies in a 375° oven for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar once the cookies have cooled. Enjoy!

Hello, my name is Laurie. I have been married to my husband for 14 years. We have two young daughters, ages 11 and 13 years old. My family and I live in Oregon so that means we are just minutes from the beach, mountains, and desert. We love it here and try to spend as much time outdoors playing as we can. When we aren’t outside playing, I enjoy reading, gardening, refinishing furniture, and other crafts. www.emilyreviews.com/category/laurie
