Best Broiled Grapefruit With Vanilla Ginger Sugar Recipes

Broiled Grapefruit With Brown Sugar and Flaky Salt image

Provided by Melissa Clark

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 grapefruits, preferably pink or ruby
4 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Honey, for drizzling
Ground cinnamon (optional)
Flaky sea salt, for serving

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.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 large grapefruit
1/2 teaspoon(s) crystallized ginger, chopped into small pieces
1-2 tablespoon(s) demerara sugar or granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla paste or vanilla extract

Steps:

Set oven to BROIL. Cut the grapefruit in half or in thick slices.
Stir together the sugar and crystallized ginger. If you prefer, the sugar and crystallized ginger can be ground in a coffee mill/spice grinder.
Spoon the sugar mixture onto the grapefruit slices. Add a few drops of vanilla extract to each slice. Or, if using vanilla paste, spread a little bit on each grapefruit slice first then add the sugar mixture.
BROIL the grapefruit for about 3-5 minutes until the sugar starts to bubble. Watch carefully to avoid burning!
Set aside to cool; serve at room temperature.

Broiled Grapefruit with Vanilla Ginger Sugar image

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 4

2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 large pink grapefruits

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.
