Recipe: Broiled Grapefruit

Hurray for citrus season! I love winter because fresh oranges are available for salads, limes for mojitos, and grapefruit for breakfast. If you are bored with cold grapefruit in the mornings, try this delicious variation.
NB: Grapefruit should be at room temperature to ensure even baking.

1 fresh pink grapefruit
brown sugar
cinnamon

1. Set oven to 350C
2. Cut grapefruit in half, remove seeds and section
3. Spread an even, thin, layer of brown sugar over the top. Use the back of a spoon to squeeze the sugar into the fruit. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
4. Bake at 350 for 4-5 minutes
5. Turn the oven up to broil and broil 3-4 minutes, or until the top is browned.
6. Remove from oven and enjoy!

A mint garnish is a delightful addition.

Erm, who thinks of broiling a grapefruit?? If not for you, I probably would have made it to the nursing home without ever hearing of such a thing.

Now, however, it's all I can think about. It's on the shopping list for next week.

This either sounds terrible or awesome. I can't decide which.

Sigh.

I too will be purchasing a grapefruit soon.

You better not be screwing with me, LJS!
