How to Make Broiled Citrus Cranberries

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Combine 1 cup fresh cranberries, 1/2 cup orange segments (about 1 medium orange), 1/4 cup grapefruit segments (about 1/2 medium grapefruit), and 1 tablespoon orange liqueur (optional) in a medium bowl.
  3. Divide the cranberry mixture evenly among four small (6-ounce) oven-safe ramekins.
  4. Sprinkle each ramekin generously with 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
  5. Place the ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any drips.
  6. Broil for 4-6 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until the cranberries are plump and the sugar is caramelized and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  7. Remove from the broiler and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
