Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Grapefruit

    Preheat your broiler. Cut each grapefruit in half and use a spoon to gently loosen the segments from the rind. Place the halves in a broiler-safe dish.

  2. 2

    Add Brown Sugar

    Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar evenly over each grapefruit half, ensuring the surface is well coated.

  3. 3

    Broil the Grapefruit

    Place the dish under the broiler for about 3-5 minutes or until the sugar is melted and caramelized. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garnish

    While the grapefruit is broiling, rinse the blueberries and mint leaves. Set aside.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the grapefruit is done, remove it from the oven. Drizzle with honey and garnish with fresh blueberries and mint leaves before serving.
