Description
Brown butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar take grapefruit to the next level!
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1 whole Large Ruby Red Grapefruit, Chilled
- ¼ cups Light Brown Sugar, Packed
- ½ teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
Preparation
Preheat oven broiler to high.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, allow the butter to continue cooking for a few minutes, swirling the pan periodically. The butter will foam and hiss, indicating that the browning process is occurring. Once you see the solids beginning to brown, pay close attention to avoid overcooking. Continue swirling the pan until the butter has a fragrant and nutty aroma and the browned bits cover the bottom of the pan. Set aside to cool.
To prepare the fruit, slice the grapefruit in half and use a sharp paring knife to separate the fruit from the outer rind and also separate the individual segments. Place the grapefruit halves in a foil-lined baking dish.
In a small bowl, combine the browned butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mound this mixture on each grapefruit half and place under the preheated broiler for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the sugar is bubbly. Remove from heat and allow to cool a few minutes before enjoying!
