Begin by scrubbing 1 fresh grapefruit under running water, using baking soda to ensure it's clean. Pat it dry with a towel, then carefully slice off the ends.

Cut the peeled grapefruit into segments and place them in a medium-sized saucepan. Add 1.5 cups of honey to the saucepan and mix well to combine. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat for about 15 minutes, allowing the honey to dissolve while stirring frequently, until the mixture is bubbly and fragrant.

Once the honey has fully blended with the grapefruit, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 5 minutes.

Using a fine mesh strainer, pour the syrup into a clean, airtight container, pressing down gently to extract as much liquid as possible. Ensure that no grapefruit seeds remain.
