Description

Sweeten up your morning with this nifty way to prepare grapefruit! This is the only way my mother could convince me to eat my grapefruit, and I still eat it this way.

Ingredients

4 grapefruit
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 teaspoons butter

Directions

1 Preheat your oven's broiler.
2 Cut the grapefruits in half, and use a small serrated knife to cut out the sections in the halves. Spoon the sections and juice into a bowl, then scrape out all of the remaining thick skins and pulp. Spoon the sections from the bowl back into the halves. This is best done one half at a time.
3 Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top of each grapefruit half, adjusting as you see fit. Dot with butter. Place the halves on a cookie sheet.
4 Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.
