Broiled Grapefruit with Cinnamon
Broiled grapefruit is a wonderful dessert. It's super easy to make and a refreshing, tangy addition to a summertime meal. When you broil it with just a little sugar and cinnamon it caramelizes the citrus sugars and adds a bit of a spicy kick from the cinnamon. It's also fabulous as an addition to a breakfast or brunch menu. Whether you want to start your day with a burst of flavor or end a meal on a light, refreshing note, adding broiled grapefruit to the meal is a perfect choice. I like to set it out before the meal and then pop it in the over while clearing the table. You'll want to savor the tartness and sweetness of the grapefruit while it's fresh out of the oven and still warm.
Ingredients
- Wash grapefruits and cut in half
- Use a knife to separate each section from the peel so it's loose
- Place in a baking pan (I usually get four into an 8 x 8 pan)
- When ready to prepare this dish preheat the oven to broil
- Sprinkle the grapefruit halves with cane juice crystals
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the top of each half
- Broil for 3-5 minutes until the sugar melts slightly into the fruit
