Baked Grapefruit Halves

 

3 red grapefruits

1 large orange, peeled and sectioned

1 medium banana, sliced

1/3 cup orange or lemon flavored or regular pitted dried prunes, coarsely

chopped

2 TB orange liqueur, optional

1 TB margarine or butter, cut into small pieces

2 TB brown sugar

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

 

Preheat oven to 450º F.

 

Halve each grapefruit; cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each half so

grapefruit will sit flat.

Use a grapefruit knife or other small knife to cut around the outer edge to

loosen fruit from shell.

Cut between each segment to loosen it from membrane.

 

In a bowl combine orange sections, banana slices, prunes, and if using,

liqueur. Mound the orange

mixture on top the grapefruit halves. Dot each half with margarine or butter.

Combine brown sugar

and cinnamon; sprinkle over fruit mixture.

 

Place in a 3 quart rectangular baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 12 minutes

or until grapefruit is warm

and topping is hot.

 

Makes 6 servings.
