Take a very hot day,
Peel a grapefruit, a sour orange, and a blood orange take the pieces apart and cut each piece in half.
Take another grapefruit and squeeze the juice into a bowl
Cut a few chucks of Jicama
Add a few snippets of cilantro,
and a hint of fresh ground pepper.
Mix together with the grapefruit juice. Chill.
Serve cold in a *Calabash bowl with a spoon.
(A *calabash is a gourd from a tree. The calabash gourd is cut in half, emptied, and dried. It will turn brown when completely dried. It can be decoratively carved. The Maya used the calabash gourds as cups or as bowls.)
