Broiled Grapefruit

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

Give the grapefruit a good scrubbing. Cut it in half and place the halves in little baskets you formed with aluminum foil. (Later, yummy grapefruit-honey-brown sugar sauce that you’re not gonna wanna miss out on will boil over and collect in this foil basket. This, my friends, is why you’re gonna wanna have given the skin a really good scrubbing and why you want the aluminum foil boats around the fruit).

Separate the wedges from the skins and the shell with a sharp knife but leave the pulp in the shell. Drizzle each half with one tablespoon of honey and 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar. Cut the butter into very small pieces and sprinkle the pieces onto the grapefruit halves.

Place the halves in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. The wedges will start to pop out of the shells a little. To caramelize, turn on the broiler for the last couple of minutes of cooking time, but keep an eye on the grapefruit halves so they don’t burn.

Make sure to eat them hot and scoop up that sauce from the basket.
