Broiled Grapefruit - brown sugar

Method

• Slice very thinly on the top and bottom ends of the grapefruit so they will not roll around. Don't puncture past the white pith or the juices will run out.
• Slice the grapefruit in half. Place it on a sheet pan and cut around the sections with a paring knife to loosen them. This allows the sugar to infuse the grapefruit and it is easier to eat when it's done. Sprinkle sugar or drizzle honey over the grapefruit halves, about 1 to 2 tablespoon per half.
• Broil it under a preheated broiler until it is warm and the sugar is melted and incorporated into the grapefruit. If you like the browned bits and caramelization you get from placing them directly under the broiler, then it will take about 5 minutes. I usually put mine on the second rack away from the broiler, which just melts the sugar into the grapefruit and warms it through. This will take 7 to 10 minutes.
• Note: If you like ginger or cinnamon, then sprinkle some over the grapefruit along with the sugar before broiling. I prefer mine without.
