This is an oldie, but a goodie. A classic low fat breakfast of broiled grapefruit with brown sugar or maple syrup.
Ingredients
Version 1 (loose sections):
- 1 cup grapefruit sections
- dash of cinnamon
- Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (or Brown Sugar)
Version 2 (in the rind):
- ½ grapefruit
- Vermont maple syrup
- Fruit Garnish
Instructions
- For loose sections, arrange grapefruit sections in four custard cups. Dust tops with a little brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon. Use a kitchen butane torch or an oven broiler to caramelize sugar. Serve as an appetizer or breakfast fruit.
- For in the rind, take a thin slice off the top and bottom of the grapefruit. This insures it will sit securely in a serving bowl when served. Cut the citrus in half.
- Using a grapefruit knife, trim all the edible segments from the membrane in each half.
- Place the two halves in an oven proof dish.
- Drizzle liberally with honey or maple syrup and dust with cinnamon.
- Use a kitchen butane torch until bubbly, or, slide them under a preheated broiler and allow to cook for about 8 or 9 minutes.
- Plate, garnish with a strawberry slice and a sprig of fresh mint and serve straight away.
Spa Index Kitchen Notes
We calculated this with a sprinkling of Splenda Brown Sugar. Adjust accordingly if you use maple syrup.
