KELLYMAC'S BAKED GRAPEFRUIT

This is my favorite way to eat grapefruit. By heating the grapefruit up you really bring out the flavors. I usually skip the mint unless I have it on hand, but it makes it look nicer and adds a nice flavor if you are serving to guests.

Tips:

  • Choose the right grapefruit: Select grapefruits that are heavy for their size and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid grapefruits with soft spots or bruises.
  • Prepare the grapefruit properly: Cut the grapefruit in half crosswise and remove the pulp. Use a spoon to scoop out any remaining pulp and membrane. Score the grapefruit flesh with a sharp knife to help the sugar penetrate.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. If possible, use organic grapefruit and other ingredients.
  • Don't overcook the grapefruit: Overcooked grapefruit will be tough and bitter. Bake the grapefruit for just until the sugar has melted and the grapefruit is slightly softened.
  • Serve the grapefruit warm or cold: Baked grapefruit can be served warm or cold. If you are serving it warm, let it cool slightly before serving. If you are serving it cold, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked grapefruit is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a good source of vitamin C and other nutrients, and it can help to boost the immune system.
