There's not really a recipe for this. Just a how to.
Broiled Grapefruit
Preheat your broiler. Cut one ripe grapefruit in half (for 2 servings). Using the point of a sharp knife, gently cut completely around the grapefruit between the fruit and the rind, and then cut between the fruit and the membrane that separates the sections of the grapefruit. Sprinkle the top with a couple teaspoons of brown sugar. Place in a baking dish and broil about five minutes or so. Place a maraschino cherry in the center and serve while warm.
Yes, I remember these :-) But it was many, many years ago when I was in high school I was making these. You bring back memories ;-) Glad you introduced your sweetie pie to it.
ReplyDeleteI have never had grapefruit prepared this way, it looks delicious! :~)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it this way either...and my great grandparents worked in an orange/grapefruit grove, so I've eaten a ton of grapefruit over the course of my life. There was a lady in my department at work that swore by her broiled grapefruit recipe...but I'd forgotten about it...until now. You can bet that I'll be trying this when I get my grapefruit allotment this year!
ReplyDeleteI had totally forgotten this yummy way to prepare grapefruit. Thanks for jogging my memory. GREAT photo.
ReplyDeleteThis brought back memories also. My mother didn't broil it but for some reason we would have grapefruit with sugar and the cherry on top before special dinners. This was years ago when we were kids!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a grapfruit prepared this way. Can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteAs soon as grapefruit season hits in january, I'll be craving them like mad. This is definitely going to be made then. I can't wait to taste all of that caramelized grapefruit goodness.
ReplyDeleteOh it has been years since I've had one of these. .thanks for the reminder of a wonderful breakfast treat Katy.
ReplyDeleteLovella from mennonite girls can cook.
Citrus does broil well, doesn't it? Nice reminder especially as we move into grapefruit season. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteYum! So glad you put the cherry!
ReplyDeleteI remember a cute sitcom (No Honestly) where she didn't have a cherry so she put a red button instead! lol
All right I'm feeling like I've been missing out on something really good, I've never had broiled grapefruit and now i can't wait to try it! Thanks Katy!
ReplyDeleteThat's good stuff right there Katy! I will make some for the kids now & again.
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday!

I've heard of having grapefruit this way but have never tried it before. Think I need to already! Looks delicious Katy!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a small child my mother and grandmother would eat broiled grapefruit just like this and a scoop of cottage cheese on a lettuce leaf and I was so jealous because they would never let me have any. Now that I'm an adult I have broiled grapefruit for breakfast a lot :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see I'm not the only one out there that likes them.
Great idea for when we get back to Florida. Hope all is well with you.
ReplyDeleteI have never broiled grapefruit...it sounds so simple and yet so tasty!
