Braly: Citrus brightens winter taste buds

When all other fruit is tasteless, winter brings us the best citrus fruit around. I've been amazed at the grapefruit I've been getting. The best I've had is from Walmart - $3 a bag containing six really big grapefruit. And I plan to save one for making this dish. It sounds excellent.
