    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.
