Slice the ends off the grapefruit, cut iit nto eighths, and then remove all seeds. Cut it crosswise into paper-thin slices, and add it to the bowl with lemon. Cover with 3 cups water, then chill overnight.

Combine fruit and soaking liquid, pomegranate juice, and sugar in a 4-quart nonreactive saucepan. Over high heat, bring the mixture to a full boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
