Broil a Grapefruit

Addicted to Pinterest, I really just need to get off instead of spending hours apon hours looking at everything. But I came across this from a  Pinterest blogger that had said "Broil a grapefruit - If you’ve never done this before, you are seriously missing out. Grapefruit is good but broiled grapefruit is GOOOOD. The sugars caramelize and the flesh gets a little warm and gooey and it’s a sweet, tangy, brûléed masterpiece for your tastebuds. I highly recommend it." So since I had one grapefruit left I decided to try it. And I too hightly recommend it!

Ingredients
  • 1 grapefruit, cut in half and segmented with a serrated knife
  • 1T butter, melted
  • 2T brown sugar
  • cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, etc
Method
  1. Turn on your broiler and position the rack in the top shelf, as close to the broiler as you can get it
  2. Halve and segment your grapefruit. You might need to take a little slice off the bottoms so that they don’t roll around
  3. Mix butter, brown sugar, and desired spices until they form a thick paste.
  4. Place grapefruit halves in a broiler-safe pan and smear the butter/sugar paste on top.
  5. Broil grapefruit halves for 4-6 minutes, keeping an eye on them and rotating if necessary.
  6. Remove from oven and serve warm. Yum!
