Ingredients
2pink grapefruit
1/3cupbrown sugar
1/2teaspoonground cinnamon
4Maraschino Cherries
Instructions
Step 1: Slice the grapefruit in half and remove seeds. With a small thin flexible paring knife or grapefruit, carefully cut around all 3 edges of each section to loosen the fruit. (Do this step before the grapefruit goes under the broiler, as the fruit will be too hot afterwards.)
Step 2: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon and spoon this mixture on top of each of the grapefruit halves.
Step 3: Place the four sections on a baking sheet or broiling pan. Set your oven to Broil or 550 degrees Fahrenheit and place the pan about 4-6 inches away from the heat. Broil the halves for about 5-10 minutes, until the juice is bubbling, and the brown sugar has slightly melted and is starting to caramelize.
Step 4: Serve in individual grapefruit immediately for breakfast or brunch. Top each half with a Maraschino cherry for garnish.
Notes
Note: It's okay to pack the brown sugar mixture onto the grapefruit a bit on the heavy side. Once under the broiler, some will run on to the pan.
