Notes
Inspired by this recipe from Sally.When zesting the grapefruit, be careful to not get too much of the white, as it can be very bitter.The glaze is delicious, but I found that it soaked into the muffins after a couple hours, so add the glaze close to serving time. As with most citrus desserts, I like these best served at room temperature or straight from the refrigerator.
