A
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.
