How to Make Sweet Broiled Grapefruit

  1. Preheat your broiler.
  2. Cut two large grapefruits in half.
  3. Carefully use a small knife or grapefruit spoon to remove the membrane from the center of each grapefruit half, separating the segments.
  4. Place each grapefruit half cut-side up on a baking sheet.
  5. Place 1 teaspoon of softened butter into the center of each grapefruit half.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
  7. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the butter in each grapefruit half.
  8. Broil for 8-10 minutes, or until the grapefruit is bubbly and the sugar is caramelized, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from broiler and top each grapefruit half with a fresh, pitted cherry.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy!
