Cooking instruction summary:

Procedures 1 Adjust oven rack to middle position. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a -9 by 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside. 2 In medium bowl, whisk together white rice flour, sweet rice flour, cornstarch, baking powder, salt, and xanthan gum. In bowl of food processor, combine granulated sugar and grapefruit zest. Process until no large pieces of zest remain, about 30 seconds. Add eggs. Process until thoroughly combined. Add dry ingredients. Pulse until smooth, 10 to 12 short pulses. Add oil and Greek-style yogurt. Run processor until thick batter forms, about 15 seconds, scraping down sides as necessary. 3 Spoon batter evenly into prepared loaf pan. Bake until golden brown. A cake tester inserted into center of loaf should come out clean or with just a few dry crumbs, about 40 minutes. 4 While loaf bakes, prepare glaze. Combine grapefruit juice and granulated sugar in small saucepan. Heat over medium heat until mixture boils and sugar dissolves. Remove from heat. 5 Remove loaf from oven. Allow to cool in pan for three minutes. Transfer loaf to wire rack set over a plate or pan. Using a long skewer, immediately poke holes all over loaf. (Skewer should reach bottom of loaf.) Brush 1/3 of glaze over top of loaf. Allow loaf to absorb glaze, about 5 minutes. Repeat two more times with remaining glaze. Cool loaf before serving. Wrap and store at room temperature for up to three days or freeze cooled loaf for up to one month.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
