*TexaSweet was super nice enough to send me some grapefruit to taste test and incorporate into a recipe. All opinions are my own*
I was so excited when a representative from TexaSweet contacted me and asked if she could send me some grapefruit to taste and incorporate into a recipe. Of course, I gladly accepted because I love a good challenge! I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of grapefruit because when I was younger my mom used to make us eat it and it was always so sour that I had to sneak spoonfuls of sugar on it, so because of that memory, I’ve not had a grapefruit since.
When I cut open the TexaSweet grapefruit, the color was beautiful and it was very juicy. After I searched my favorite site, Pinterest, I found an amazing grapefruit bread recipe that incorporated grapefruit juice in the bread and in the icing. After reviewing the recipe, I knew that I had to bake it; especially since it was such a quick and simple recipe. I found this recipe on Cookin’ Canuck’s page and she titled it Glazed Pink Grapefruit Quick Bread Recipe. I kept the recipe exact, but I may have added extra grapefruit juice to the icing. This grapefruit bread turned out so good and it had a sweetness to it along with an amazing hint, not overpowering, taste of grapefruit. If grapefruit is too sour for you to eat alone, I would recommend baking this TexaSweet Grapefruit Bread, it is amazing.

I love grapefruit, but I’ve never thought to make grapefruit bread before! I’ll definitely have to try this out sometime.
This is funny. I was just looking for a recipe for this over the weekend. Not sure why I was craving it but I know now I will be getting ti. 😉 Thanks!
I love this post! Everything sounds amazing and I love your photos. Thank you for sharing!
That would be something new I’ve not heard of nor would have thought of. We love grapefruit and bread and the two together just might work out for us.
Yummy – I can’t wait to try this delicious-looking and sounding recipe for grapefruit bread. How nice that you even got some fresh fruit to use while making the perfect recipe.
Love this! We’ve tried Grapefruit rind candy! and its actually one of my favorites…I will try and make this!
I have to echo the sentiments of EVERYONE on here: WOW! Who would have thought of doing grapefruit *bread*. Genius! Love the idea. Well done.
Wow, I’ve never even thought of making grapefruit bread! It looks so yummy!
I have never heard of grapefruit bread, this is something I need to try!
Pinned it. That does sound and look amazing. Grapefruit is so so so good. I’m the only one who eats it here, so I buy just a couple of pieces at a time, and not all that often, but I love it when I do.
Yum I love grapefruit, and I love making bread, so this is perfect!
I’m the type of person that likes to try new things. Especially when those things appear odd to me. Grapefruit to me is one of the oddest things out there. Which makes this even more exciting.
Best comment of the day! Thank you.
This is something new, different and I bet yummy. I didn’t know you can cook with grapefruit.
I’m not a huge fan of grapefruit in most cases, but I have to admit that this looks delicious.
I am not a fan of grapefruit but I think with this bread recipe I will be. Thanks for sharing.
That looks delicious! I too have a memory like that and am not too much of a fan. But eating it in bread….oh yeah, I’m there!
I’ve tried grapefruit rind candy- YUMM! I think this bread would be right up there for me to make! Hmm…now to go shopping!

I have not tried grapefruit bread before. I will have to get the recipe and try it.
I love Texas grapefruit, but I haven’t seen it in a long time. I wonder if I can find it in Chicago in the dead of winter? Now I’m on a mission because this bread looks so good I must try it!
I don’t usually like grapefruit, either, looks like loads of us are somewhat concerned about that part!! But might be worth a try anyway – sweet bread is like cake, right? Yum!!
I’m not a big fan of grapefruit either, but the bread looks really delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
I love grapefruit! This bread sounds absolutely amazing!
I have never heard of Grapefruit bread before. I love bread made from other fruits though, so I imagine this is delicious.

Now that looks perfect ( not that there is anything wrong with being imperfect, LOL) and I have never heard of grapefruit bread before. I imagine it is very tasty.
I have never tried grapefruits in a recipe before. I usually eat them or drink them. This must be awesome as it adds such a flavor to any meal dessert
I never knew you could make bread with grapefruit!!! If my hubby had a choice, he would live off grapefruits! I like mine a bit sweet not too sour.
Oh my heavens that looks delicious! I’ve always loved grapefruit so I know I would love this! Must try!
Wow, I love grapefruit but have never even considered the idea of grapefruit bread. Will definitely have to try this.

This looks so yum! I would love to make this and try it out for sure. Such a great alternative for the holidays even for those who don’t like heavy breads or sweat treats. Thank you so much for sharing, I think I just might have to go get me some grapefruits today 🙂
This is so different. Looks like a good recipe to try. As a matter of fact, I have some grapefruit at home.
I never thought to put grapefruit in bread. Awesome idea! Pinning!
I’ve never tried grapefruit bread before, but have had success with apple / zucchini / pumpkin, etc. Whenever I think of grapefruits, I think of my great grandfather, who ate one a day and swore by their healing powers. Adding this to my to-do list!

This looks like it’d be a wonderful addition to a holiday meal! I just love grapefruit.
I’ve never had grapefruit bread before. I can’t lie, the only way I have ever enjoyed grapefruit is with alcohol LOL. I will definitely have to try this recipe (I pinned it so I can find it later) 🙂
Guess what I have in my kitchen? 2 grapefruits! I know what I will be doing tomorrow! Thanks for the great idea!
Wow, I’ve never heard of grapefruit BREAD. Looks good! Can you use other citrus fruit (lemon, lime, orange, etc) instead of grapefruit with this recipe?
I’d use lemon.. hmmm orange might be interesting!
I actually really love grapefruit. I never thought of incorporating it into bread. Adding to my “to bake” list 🙂
I have never heard of grapefruit bread and honestly would have never thought about it either. This does sound good though! I’ll have to try it.
I love grapefruits, but definitely never had them in bread before. It sounds awesome!
I always love lemon bread, so I’m sure I’d love this too. I think I have some grapefruit that needs to be used…
I love the taste and smell of grapefruit, so the idea of using it in a bread sounds soooo good! It’s beautiful too!
This sounds amazing. I love grapefruit in the morning with a little sugar. This is like that on a mega dose of steroids.
Grapefruit bread, huh? Who would have thought? Certainly not me. This looks delicious.
I’ve never heard of grapefruit bread before. It’s sounds really good, though!
I absolutely LOVE grapefruit but I’ve never thought about baking with it! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I just pinned it!
I haven’t done too much baking with it either, Jenn! I think I definitely need to!
Wow. I have never thought of that. Amazing treat.
How I have I never heard of grapefruit bread? I’m interested to see how it would taste – looks very appetizing!

I love grapefruit and I have never had grapefruit bread. It looks and sounds amazing.
I love the idea of making grapefruit bread. How creative and I’m sure it’s absolutely delicious!
I’m not a big fan of grapefruit but for some reason my kids and husband are, so I always have some sitting around. I’ll have to get the TexaSweet brand.
You’d also be amazed at how much you can make with grapefruit.
I have never tried grapefruit bread before. I find grapefruits super tart for my palate, do you do anything to sweeten it for the bread?
With the sugar that is added into the bread… the grapefruit flavor is a treat. It’s not tart at all… My 7 year old was not a fan but my 9 year old loved it.. Trust me, I’m in your boat..
