Caramelized Grapefruit
An elegant yet easy to make fruit dish for holiday brunches …
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1 t. ground cinnamon
2 lg. red grapefruit
4 large grapes or maraschino cherries
Preheat oven broiler. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Cut grapefruits in half crosswise. Use a grapefruit knife to section the grapefruits and to remove centers. Sprinkle brown sugar onto each grapefruit half. Place grapefruits 6 inches under broiler and cook for about 5 minutes or until brown sugar is melted. (Watch grapefruit carefully during this time.) Remove from broiler. Place in dessert bowls or on dessert plates. Put a grape or cherry in the center of each grapefruit half. Serve immediately.
Note: If you do not have a broiler, you can use a chef’s torch to melt sugar. If you do not have a chef’s torch, let the sugar soak into the grapefruit for about 10 minutes before serving. The sugar will not caramelize, but the flavor will still be pleasing.

My mom would broil grapefruit with brown sugar for us when we were kids! Forgot all about that. But I would have loved the cherry added!
Sounds like a fun memory!
Haven’t had grapefruit in years. Beautiful colors!
Thank you!
I miss grapefruit! So many medications don’t allow it. 😦
Oh, I know. That is a shame. Sorry!
The grapefruit looks very inviting.
BTW, the colors in your photo are fantastic. It really catches the eye. Nicely done.
Thank you, David.
