One of the first recipes I learned to make as a kid in 4-H. They called it a "Grapefruit Eye-opener". Just bought grapefruit spoons at the request of DH but have always cut them in half, then between the membranes in each little section before broiling to make it easier to eat. Thanks for a yummy - quick way to star the day and a great way to introduce grapefruit to children.

I have been eating my grapefruit like this for years. I do broil mine to bring out the sweetness of the fruit, and love this with a cup of tea and some whole grain toast. Thanks for posting the simple recipe.

This was such a great, simple recipe. I'd never eaten grapefruit this way, and actually hadn't had any grapefruit at all in a looong time. I broiled mine for about 4 minutes & had it with some hot tea.

This was a very nice addition to a festive breakfast. It was simple to make & very tasty, DS especially enjoyed it. I wouldn't have thought to fix grapefruit this way w/o seeing this recipe. Thanks.

YUM, this is my favorite way to eat grapefruit. Before this I ate it cold with white sugar. I like the brown sugar and the warmed fruit, it adds a special touch the flavor is fantastic. I cut between the membranes to loosen sections prior to broiling so it's easy to eat with a spoon. I then squeeze the heck out of each half into my spoon and drink up the juice (leaving out any seeds that get squeezed out). Then I grab my bowl and slurp any leftover juice that's dripped! LOL, not very womanly, I know, but it's so good!

I am on a grapefruit kick and this is a wonderful and different way to enjoy grapefruit!! Never had warm grapefruit before and loved it!!! Added a bit less than 1 tablespoon and broiled it for a few minutes! Thanks SAHMchef!!

It never caramelised for me either but it was very nice all the same.

Hmmm. This didn't work for me. I used Brown Sugar Splenda (diabetic, trying to save on sugar) so I think that's where I strayed. The flavor was fantastic, but it never got crispy on top. Also, it was a really juicy grapefruit so I don't know if that kept it from caramelizing. I will try this again and repost.
