   Excluding fruit salad and grapefruit with sugar done under the grill, because they're the ones I can think of!

   It sounds like you have an abundance of grapefruit .
   I have heard that grapefruit marmalade is very good-- sort of like orange marmalade.   I would think that most any recipe that uses oranges could be adapted with grapefruit-- maybe with a little more sugar.
   (One thing you should consider-- this is one fruit that seems to interact negatively with certain medications, so check that out with people you are serving.)

      Marmalade sounds like a good idea, I've never made it, but I'm sure it would work.

   I like my grapefruit spicy. Therefore, I just put some Mexican spice called Tajin.

      I've never heard if Tajin and spicy grapefruit is a whole new concept for me, so thank you for introducing the idea.

   I love chicken backed with grapefruit, and rosemary.
   Take one whole chicken
   2 garlic cloves 1 clove chopped
   1 small onion
   1 grapefruit
   1 bunch rosemary
   4 tabs butter
   salt and pepper to taste
   cut in half onion, and grapefruit. place inside of chicken with whole garlic clove and 1/2 bunch rosemary, salt and pepper( only one half of the grapefruit)
   under the shin put 2 tabs of butter, chopped garlic and the rest of the rosemary.
   squeeze other 1/2 of grapefruit juice over chicken, rub outside of skin with the other 2 tabs of butter( if cutting down on butter you can use olive oil here) salt and pepper.
   Bake 400 for 40 minutes to a hour or until it reaches a temp of 180 degrees F
