Broiled Grapefruit

I love grapefruit, I love all citrus fruit and this is my favourite way to eat this juicy globe.

Broiled Grapefruit
Ingredients:

• 1 large grapefruit, well chilled
• 2 teaspoons of brown sugar

Directions:

• Preheat a broiler.
  
• Cut  grapefruit in half crosswise. Cut a thin slice off the bottom of each half, if necessary, so that it will stand upright.

• Using a serrated grapefruit knife or a small, sharp knife, loosen the grapefruit segments in each half by first carefully cutting between the fruit and the peel and then by cutting along either side of each segment to free it from the membrane. Leave all the segments in their shells. Place the halves upright in a baking dish or on baking sheet.
• Sprinkle the sugar  evenly over the grapefruit halves. Slip under the broiler about 4 inches from the heat source and broil until the sugar is uniformly bubbly, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Transfer each grapefruit half to an individual dish and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve immediately. 

I know warm grapefruit may sound weird but give it a try, it's sweet, juicy and delicious!
