When Texas Citrus Marketing asked us to co-sponsor the Texas Rio Star Grapefruit Challenge for home cooks and professionals, we knew we were in for some good eating. After all, no other grapefruit is as juicy and sweet as Texas Rio Star. But we were surprised and delighted by the creativity demonstrated in the recipes. See if you agree.
