Grapefruit's Last Hurrah

You can get grapefruit year-round, but my favorite Texas ruby red grapefruits are at their peak in January and February. So, now's the time to enjoy a final burst of sweetness. Here's a simple way to prepare them. They're great with breakfast...or even as a light dessert.

Broiled Grapefruit

Trim a little off the end of a grapefruit half (at least one per person) so they sit flat on a foil-lined baking sheet. Place them on sheet and use a knife to loosen grapefruit sections from membrane.

Sprinkle each half with 1-2 tablespoons sugar. (I like brown sugar on these.) Place 4 inches from broiler and broil until sugar is bubbling and caramelized, about 5 minutes.

It's easy and it's yummy.
