Preparation

Dissolve cornstarch in ½ cup water; pour into a non-reactive saucepan and add 1 ½ cups water, stirring to combine. Add cranberries, sugar, grapefruit juice, grapefruit zest and vanilla; stir to combine. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture is very thick and liquid is clear. Remove from heat and stir in grapefruit segments. 

Yield:  3 cups, approximately 12 (1/4-cup) servings

Serving Suggestion: Use Cranberry Grapefruit Compote to top waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, toast and scones.
