Enjoy some grapefruit. Once you've finished enjoying your grapefruit, lay your peels out to dry. It's best to let peels dry naturally in a dry location to preserve the natural oils in the peel. I use my kitchen window because it gets sunshine all day and is a very dry location. My peels dry out there in just a couple of days.
Once you have dry peels add them to a cup and a half of grapeseed oil inside a mason jar. Make sure the grapefruit peels are completely covered with oil so there is no risk of molding. (This is where patience becomes a necessary part of this recipe.)
Wait. This recipe is not ready in one afternoon.
I usually let the peels sit in the oil for 2 months before I use it. One jar lasts about 2 months for us. As soon as I pull the jar down and fill my pretty apothecary jar you see in the pictures, I refill my mason jar so a new batch is ready when I run out.
