Broiled Grapefruit Halves

 

Grapefruit halves are as traditional for breakfast as " cornflakes, " and

just as boring. Here are a few ways to perk up this standby. Try not to

fight with your spouse overthe breakfast table to see who gets which

one.

 

Makes 2 servings

 

1 grapefruit, halved and sectioned

2 teaspoons minced candied ginger

1 tablespoon Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur

1 tablespoon rum

1 tablespoon brown sugar

 

1. Preheat broiler. If necessary, cut a small slice from the bottom of

each grapefruit half to make sure it sits evenly.

 

2. Put halves in oven-proof dish. Mix Grand Marnier with ginger in a

small bowl and spoon over one of the grapefruit halves. Mix rum and

brown sugar in another small bowl and spoon over the other half.

 

3. Run halves under the broiler for about 5 minutes, until they brown

lightly. Spoon any excess liquid over the halves, and serve.

 

Cooking Tip
