Broiled Grapefruit

You will love this brown sugar Broiled Grapefruit recipe! It’s tangy, sweet, and so easy to prepare. Use one grapefruit for two people, two grapefruits for four people, etc.

Yield: varies

Ingredients

• Grapefruit, sliced in half
• 3 teaspoons brown sugar* for each grapefruit half
• Maraschino cherries (optional)

Instructions

1. Heat oven to “broil”, with the rack on the top shelf (so that the grapefruit will be about 1 1/2 to 2 inches from the heat).
2. Arrange grapefruit halves, cut side up, in a broil-safe pan. (You may need to use a knife to slice a small part off the bottom of each half to make sure they are sitting level in the pan.) Sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
3. Broil for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sugar is melted and the edges begin to brown. Remove and then use a knife to segment the grapefruit slices. Place a maraschino cherry in the center of each grapefruit half, if desired.
4. Serve at room temperature.

Notes

* Honey may be substituted for the brown sugar.

If desired, you can mix one of the following with the brown sugar: Crystallized or ground ginger, vanilla extract, cinnamon or other desired spice
