Broiled Grapefruit

"The first time I heard about broiled grapefruit, it sounded too weird to try. My friend George R patiently explained to me how he made it, and how much he loved it. The light in his eyes when he was talking about it should have been a clue. Yet all I could think of was, why would anyone want to cook grapefruit? Well friends, the answer is the same for why someone would want to eat hot cereal instead of cold. It tastes good! Of course it took me over 5 decades to figure it out. Funny thing about food prejudices; they hurt no one but yourself. Grapefruit is as delicious hot as it is cold, even better hot on a cold day. Try it! Sprinkle half a grapefruit with a little brown sugar and place it under the broiler for a few minutes; it couldn’t be easier to make. You just broil it until the sugar begins to bubble and caramelize a little, melting into the tangy grapefruit beneath. Perfect for a warm breakfast on a chilly day...."
