Cut the segments out of the membrane and set aside. Squeeze the membranes into a small bowl and collect any juice drippings.In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.In a large bowl, beat eggs and sugar until incorporated. Whisk in the sour cream, milk, almond extract and canola oil. Stir in the grapefruit pieces and zest.Sift the flour mixture into the egg mixture just until moistened and no lumps remain. Fold in the crystallized ginger and ½ cup toasted almonds. Pour the batter into prepared loaf pan and bake until a knife or toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 50-60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack; remove from pan and cool completely.Meanwhile, whisk the powdered sugar, grapefruit zest and juice in a small bowl. Add in a little more powdered sugar if needed to make a thick yet pourable glaze. Place foil beneath the wire rack to catch drips. Turn the loaf upside down so the flat side is up, and drizzle the glaze over the loaf. Sprinkle with remaining toasted almonds. Allow the glaze to set before slicing.

How to Supreme a Grapefruit One challenge in cooking with grapefruit is peeling away the thick pith beneath the skin and the bitter membrane that surrounds the pulp. The solution is a culinary technique called supreming. Here's how to do it: 1. Trim ends all the way to juicy flesh. 2. Stand fruit upright, and remove peel and pith with knife, following curve of fruit from top to bottom. (A small, serrated paring knife works best.) 3. Holding fruit over a bowl, cut sections along membranes as if you were slicing out a wedge, releasing them one by one. 4. Set supremes aside, and squeeze membrane "skeleton" over bowl to release any remaining juice.
