2

Using a sharp knife segment or supreme the pink grapefruit and oranges. To supreme citrus, cut off the top so that the flesh is visible.Now cut off the same amount from the bottom so that your citrus sits flat. Cut from top to bottom curving the knife to the shape of the orange. Repeat all the way around. Next, cut in between the white sections, placing your knife as close to the white membrane as possible, and slicing to the core. If you follow the membrane, you’ll see that you’re cutting out wedges.
