Konfiti Chadèk (Grapefruit Jam)

Konfiti chadèk is a delicious grapefruit preserve that is typically eaten with bread. My grandmother used to make it just for me every summer because I didn't like mamba (a spicy Haitian peanut butter), which is what most people had.

I adored Haitian grapefruit jam so much that a jar would only last me two weeks. It's just that tasty and addictive. It is commonly eaten at breakfast with a glass of orange juice or milk, but I prefer it slathered on thick slices of bread.

Konfiti chadèk is made by peeling two grapefruits and then squeezing out the juice. The juice is then spiced with cinnamon, combined with sugar, and slowly cooked until it thickens and reduces to a rich, delicious jam.
