Ingredients:

  • For the Roasted Grapefruit:
    • 1 grapefruit
    • â…“ cup muscovado sugar
    • 2 teaspoons finely chopped mint

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Grapefruit:
    • Cut the grapefruit in half and thoroughly loosen all sections with a knife. Pat the cut surface dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Caramelize the Sugar:
    • In a 10-inch heavy skillet, add the muscovado sugar and 2 tablespoons of water over medium-high heat. Swirl the water into the sugar to combine. Continue swirling gently until the sugar melts and starts to darken slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
  3. Roast the Grapefruit:
    • Immediately place the grapefruit halves, cut sides down, into the pan with the caramelized sugar. Turn off the heat and move the grapefruits around in the pan to coat the cut surfaces with the melted sugar.
  4. Serve:
    • Using tongs or two spoons, transfer the grapefruit halves to serving dishes, cut sides up. Sprinkle each half with finely chopped mint. Serve immediately while warm.
