Who remembers this recipe for Broiled Grapefruit straight out of 1960s home economics class? Maybe even 1950s or 40s. Iâ��m not sure, but I do remember Mama making it for us a few times years and years ago. I just adore all kinds of citrus. Oranges, lemons, limes, mandarins, tangerines, kumquatsâ�¦you name it, I like it. But especially grapefruit. I love its tart, bitter tang when combined with a little sweetness. When broiling grapefruit, I donâ��t like mine cooked until itâ��s brown. I know most broiled grapefruit recipes take the cooking further, but I prefer it just barely golden and heated through. And I like a bit of the maraschino cherry juice drizzled over also. Just for good measure. If youâ��re tired of the same old, same old for breakfast, try broiled grapefruit to shake things up a bit.

Click To Tweet How to Make Broiled Grapefruit To make broiled grapefruit for yourself, start by cutting a grapefruit in half crosswise. Through the waist so to speak. Not up and down. If you want, you can cut a tiny bit off the bottom of each half so that it sits more securely in the pan, but be sure not to cut so deep that you expose the flesh. Itâ��s also nice to go ahead and remove the seeds. Preheat your broiler to its highest setting. Place the grapefruit halves in a pan, drizzle them with a little maraschino cherry juice and sprinkle each with a bit of brown sugar. Some people add a tiny pat of butter and you can if you want. I donâ��t. Pop the pan under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes (longer if you want more golden brown fruit). Remove from the oven and top each with a maraschino cherry. Enjoy!
