Broiled Grapefruit With Vanilla Ginger Sugar Recipes

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH VANILLA GINGER SUGAR

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• In an electric coffee/spice grinder combine sugar, ginger, and vanilla and ground 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.

BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH BROWN SUGAR AND FLAKY SALT

Steps:

• Move the rack 4 inches away from the broiler, and turn it on.
• Halve the grapefruits through their equators. Using a paring knife or a grapefruit knife, cut the sections away from the membranes and pith so they are easy to spoon up. Place grapefruit halves, cut-side up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle each grapefruit half with 1 tablespoon brown sugar, then drizzle with melted butter and a little honey. Sprinkle cinnamon over the tops if you like.
• Broil grapefruit until the sugar melts and caramelizes, 2 to 5 minutes. (Broilers vary a lot so watch carefully to make sure they don't burn.) Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and serve immediately.
