Steps:
- For pink grapefruit marmalade:
- Cook rind in heavy medium saucepan of boiling water 1 minute; drain. Bring more water to boil in same pan; add rind, boil 1 minute, and drain. Repeat 3 more times (for total of 5 times).
- Combine blanched rind, sugar, grapefruit juice, and star anise in same medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is almost dry, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Discard star anise. Transfer mixture to mini processor and puree until smooth. Transfer marmalade to small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.
- For pastries:
- Blend flour, powdered sugar, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter; using on/off turns, cut in butter until fine meal forms. Add whipping cream; blend until moist clumps form. Shape dough into thin square; wrap and chill 30 minutes.
- Line small baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch-thick square, trimming if necessary. Cut six 3x2-inch rectangles; transfer to prepared sheet. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake pastries uncovered until pale golden but brown at edges, about 12 minutes. Cool pastries on sheet.
- For grapefruit:
- Preheat oven to 250°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut top and bottom 1/2 inch off each grapefruit. Stand each on 1 flat end. Following contour of fruit, cut off all peel and white pith. Working over bowl, cut grapefruits between membranes, releasing segments into bowl.
- Drain grapefruit segments well. Arrange segments, on sides and spaced apart, on prepared sheet. Bake segments until dry to touch but still moist inside, about 1 hour. Cool on sheet.

GRAPEFRUIT-MINT SORBET TASTY! NO ICE CREAM MAKER NEEDED!
This is one of the best refreshing tasty sorbets. Excellent when served between courses. NOTE: This is an adopted recipe and Wikipedia says: "Sorbet (or sorbetto, sorbeto) is a frozen dessert made from iced fruit puree and other ingredients. The term "sherbet" is derived from the Turkish word for "sorbet", serbat which in turn comes from Arabic. Sorbet is a form of gelato that contains no milk, unlike ice cream. Sorbets may contain alcohol (which lowers the freezing temperature, resulting in a softer sorbet). Unlike ice cream, the machinery used whips almost no air into the sorbet, resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. This allows sorbet to match and sometimes exceed dairy-based gelato or ice cream for taste" so I have put this into the ZWT REGION: Middle East.
