Broiled Grapefruit With Honey Vanilla Cardamom Recipes

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH HONEY, VANILLA & CARDAMOM

Steps:

• Position an oven rack about 4 inches below the broiler and heat the broiler on high.
• With a serrated knife, cut the grapefruit in even halves.
• Using a small paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut each section away from the surrounding membrane.
• Set the grapefruit halves in a shallow broiler-safe pan (such as an enameled baking dish or a heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet).
• If necessary, trim a thin slice off their bottoms so they sit level.
• In small bowl, stir together the honey and the vanilla extract.
• Drizzle the honey mixture over the grapefruit halves.
• Dust each with a bit of cardamom.
• Broil until bubbling and lightly browned in spots, 4-6 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.

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.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH VANILLA-GINGER SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In an electric coffee/spice grinder combine sugar, ginger, and vanilla and grind fine.
• Halve each grapefruit crosswise and run knife around each section to loosen membranes.
• Arrange grapefruits, cut sides-up, in a flameproof baking dish or baking pan just large enough to hold them in one layer and sprinkle with sugar mixture.
• Broil grapefruits about 1 1/2 inches from heat until sugar melts and tops begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Serve grapefruits at room temperature.
