Title: Broiled Grapefruit
Categories: Five, Citrus
Yield: 2 Servings

1 (to 2) grapefruit; red or
- yellow, halved (through
- the middle, not the stem
- (or blossom) end of the
- grapefruit)
1 tb Brown sugar; grapefruit half

To make it easier for the grapefruit halves to sit in the
pan, you may want to cut 1/4" off the bottom of each half,
so they don't wobble. To make it easier to remove the
grapefruit segments with a spoon once the grapefruit is
cooked, use a sharp paring knife to cut around the edges
of the fruit, where the fruit meets the rind. Then gently
cut inside the grapefruit, along the edges of the
segments. Don't cut all the way through the grapefruit,
just to the rind if you can.

Line a broiling or roasting pan with foil or parchment
paper (foil works better, doesn't burn). Place the
grapefruit halves, cut side up in the pan. Spread brown
sugar over the top of the exposed fruit (not the rind),
about 2 to 3 teaspoons of brown sugar per half (more or
less to taste). Yellow grapefruit tends to be more sour
than ruby red grapefruit, so you may want to use more
sugar for yellow than for red grapefruit.

Place under a broiler for 3 to 5 minutes, until the brown
sugar is bubbly and beginning to brown and caramelize.
Remove from oven. Let cool for a minute. Eat while still
warm.

UDD Notes: I have a Norpro Squirtless Grapefruit Knife
that I got at the Sojourn House (Battered Women's Shelter)
Upscale Resale Shop for $5 (not a very upscale price) and
worth every farthing. It makes separating the fruit from
the rind and the segments from one another a breeze.

I *ALWAYS* get Ruby Red (pink) grapefruit for broiling.
They taste the same as "regular" grapefruit. But they're
much more attractive on the plate.

A little cinnamon mixed with the brown sugar can do some
interesting things on your palate.
