broiled grapefruit

I am on a major grapefruit kick right now. I have to have them. I need them. I think about them when I am not eating them. Even at the bar, I am drawn to ordering greyhounds, just for the tart deliciousness of grapefruit juice therein.

A friend of mine mentioned broiling grapefruits and how tasty it is. I thought it was crazy-sounding, but decided to try it--after all, what if there was some delicious secret to unlock? As it turns out, there is. It's weird to think of eating hot grapefruit, but I promise you it is well worth putting aside your initial doubts and just doing it. Make sure to cut around each individual little slice of your halved grapefruit first to facilitate eating it later. Rub sugar across the entire top of the grapefruit, pressing it into the flesh. Broil for approximately 8-10 minutes. During its time in the oven, the sugar will caramelize a bit and the flavor is delicious. I have tried it with honey as well, and I think the sugar is really the best way to go. This will be a staple at my brunch table from now on!
