Fabulous Broiled Breakfast Grapefruit

"I saw this recipe on T.V. somewhere several years ago, and I've been making it ever since. I get lazy and don't bother to broil the grapefrut any more, but it still tastes great! Even my 3-yr. old now eats grapefruit this way."

  1. I've never been a fan of grapefruit, but I received a basket full of them as a gift. This recipe is by far the best way to eat grapefruit. I added a little pinch of cinnamon to each half. Yum! I strongly suggest cutting sections prior to broiling. Otherwise, you have a very sticky mess on your hands!
     
  2. These are great. My Mom used to make these for us, but she added a maraschino cherry top it off.
     
  3. I tried one half with powdered stevia (concentrated) and one half with Sucanat (I don't buy brown sugar). I sprinkled both halves with cinnamon. I appreciated the instructions on how to broil them. I liked the half with stevia better - it was sweeter, with less sugar. I'll bet honey would be good, just maybe messier. And the previous reviewer's suggestion on cutting sections before broiling is a great idea!
     
  4. Mmmm. I've also sectioned the grapefruit and broiled it with with the brown sugar in custard dishes. It makes a nice, healthy dessert.
     
  5. Yum! So simple and so good. Loved the broiled brown sugar. Thanks for the keeper. Made for Think Pink Tag.

(Guess which ones I don't have time for, now that I have kids!) <br /> <br />My pet peeve is spending hours on a recipe to have it turn our horrible--- I've learned not to bother with recipes that feature ingredients I don't like, because I'll never like them!</p>
