1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp cinamon

1/2 cup butter, cold cut into 1/2 inch slices

For Filling

3/4 cup sugar

Procedure

For Crust

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a 9 inch pie pan. 

In a food processor combine sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon.  Pulse once or twice to mix together ingredients.  Add butter.  Pulse for about a  minute or until dough holds together when squeezed between your fingers.  Press into pan.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until pale golden brown.  Set aside to 

cool.  Reduce oven to 325 degrees F.

For Filling

While crust is baking, mix together sugar, flour, salt in a medium sized mixing bowl.  Peel grapefruit and individually remove skin off of each grapefruit section.  Puree grapefruit in blender or food processor.  Add eggs, cream and grapefruit puree to mixing bowl.  Whisk until just combined.  Add peel(optional). Once crust has cooled for 10 minutes pour filling mixture into it and bake for another 22-27 minutes, or until filling has set but still jiggles when you shake the pan.  Let cool at least 30 minutes before serving.
