Broiled Grapefruit with Vanilla-Ginger Sauce

 

1/3 cup sugar

3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger

3/4 teaspoon vanilla

6 large pink grapefruits

 

Preheat broiler. In an electric coffee/spice grinder

combine sugar, ginger, and vanilla and grind 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.
