BAKED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the ends of the grapefruits to stabilize on the cutting board. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and bitter pith from the flesh. Over a small bowl, hold grapefruit in 1 hand and carefully remove the segments by sliding the knife between the flesh and the membrane. Toss grapefruit pieces with brown sugar and vanilla and divide among 6 ramekins. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks. Top each ramekin with 1/4 cup of ice cream. Cover with meringue and bake until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

ROASTED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Cut the grapefruit in half and thoroughly loosen all sections with a knife. Dry the cut surface with a paper towel.
• Put the sugar in a 10-inch heavy skillet and place over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons water to the pan and swirl it into the sugar. Continue swirling until the sugar melts and darkens slightly, approximately 3 to 5 minutes; do not let it burn. Immediately add the grapefruit halves, cut sides down, and turn off the heat.
• Move the grapefruit in the pan to coat the surface. Using tongs or two spoons, transfer to serving dishes, cut sides up. Sprinkle with mint and serve immediately.

BAKED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Set broiler to high. Slice grapefruit in half and use a paring knife to separate the pieces for easy scooping. Spread 1 tablespoon of brown sugar onto each side. Place fruit in a baking dish that will collect any excess juices that spill over.
• Broil until sugar melts, about 5 minutes. Serve warm.

BAKED GRAPEFRUIT ALASKA

Steps:

• Cut grapefruits in half.
• Carefully remove fruit sections; set aside fruit skins.
• Mix grapefruit sections with grapes and berries in a small bowl.
• You can add a bit of sugar, if you'd like them sweeter. Sometimes I sprinkle them with orange juice, although if you'd like them to be very fancy, you could toss the fruit with a little bit of champagne.
• Refill grapefruit skins with berry mix.
• Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a cold mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
• Fold in sugar.
• Cover fruit with merangue.
• Bake at about 500 degrees until just golden brown.
• It's easiest just to keep an eye on them until they look right; it really dos't take that long.

MERINGUE-TOPPED BAKED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Halve fruit crosswise and discard any visible seeds. Cut segments free from membranes with a sharp paring knife without removing them.
• Arrange grapefruit halves, cut sides up, on a baking sheet and sprinkle tops evenly with brown sugar.
• Beat egg whites with cream of tartar and a pinch of salt in a bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until whites just hold soft peaks. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating at high speed until meringue is stiff and glossy.
• Generously dollop (or, alternatively, decoratively pipe) meringue onto grapefruit halves and bake in middle of oven until meringue is golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Serve immediately.
• Just Whites (can be substituted for the egg whites, which are not fully cooked, if salmonella is a problem in your area). Available at many supermarkets and New York Cake & Baking Distributors (800-942-2539).

SIMPLE BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Place grapefruit halves, cut sides up, onto a baking sheet; sprinkle each with about 1 1/2 tablespoon of brown sugar.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT

Steps:

• Preheat your oven's broiler.
• 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.
• 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.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.

BAKED GRAPEFRUIT HALVES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Halve each grapefruit cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each half so grapefruit will sit flat.

In a bowl combine orange sections, banana slices, prunes, and if using, liqueur. Mound the orange mixture atop the grapefruit halves. Dot each half with margarine or butter. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkle over fruit mixture. Place in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes or until grapefruit is warm and topping is hot.
