Broiled Grapefruit Recipe



Broiled GrapefruitA broiled grapefruit recipe made with pink grapefruit and topped with brown sugar, cinnamon and a Maraschino cherry. Serve as part of a healthy breakfast or brunch menu.

Not all grapefruit needs to be sour and hard to eat. Broiled grapefruit served warm with a bit of caramelized brown sugar and cinnamon can be a refreshing change from cold cereal. This fruit recipe is quick and easy to prepare and makes 4 servings.

If you want to make this a bit healthier, you could substitute a product called sucanat as a nice organic alternative to the brown sugar and replace the cherry with a soft date or other dried fruit.

Broiled Grapefruit Recipe

Prep Time:  10 minutes

Baking Time:  5-10 minutes

Ingredient List:

Serves 4

2 pink grapefruit
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 Maraschino Cherries

Kitchen Supplies:


Full size baking sheet

Instructions:

Step 1: Slice the grapefruit in half and remove seeds. With a small thin flexible paring knife or grapefruit, carefully cut around all 3  edges of each section to loosen the fruit. (Do this step before the grapefruit goes under the broiler, as the fruit will be too hot afterwards.)

Step 2:  In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and spoon this mixture on top of each of the grapefruit halves.

Step 3: Place the four sections on a baking sheet or broiling pan. Set your oven to Broil or 550 degrees Fahrenheit and place the pan about 4-6 inches away from the heat. Broil the halves for about 5-10 minutes, until the juice is bubbling, and the brown sugar has slightly melted and is starting to caramelize.

Step 4: Serve in individual grapefruit immediately for breakfast or brunch. Top each half with a Maraschino cherry for garnish.

Note:  It's okay to pack the brown sugar mixture onto the grapefruit a bit on the heavy side. Once under the broiler, some will run on to the pan.
