Ingredients and Preparation

Ingredients	Measures
Ruby red grapefruit juice	2 cups
Sugar substitute	¼ cup
All Fruit red raspberry jam	2 tablespoons
Corn syrup	2 tablespoons

Directions
In a small saucepan, bring ¼ cup of grapefruit juice and sugar to a boil, stirring frequently until the sugar is dissolved.
Remove from heat and let cool.
Stir in remaining grapefruit juice and corn syrup.
Pour mixture into an 8 or 9 inch square pan and freeze for 1 hour, or until frozen 1 inch around the edges.
Stir well with a fork to break up large pieces of ice.
Cover and freeze 3 hours, or until completely frozen.
Once frozen, let stand at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften, than scrape with a large metal spoon, creating coarse pebbles of ice.
Serve in chilled bowls or glasses. Microwave raspberry jam until just pourable and drizzle over top of each serving.
