Simple and delicious! I usually just eat these things cold with a bit of Splenda but this was really nice change. I cut the grapefruit in half cut it into sections and loosed it a bit. I added a bit of Land O Lakes light butter to the brown sugar along with some cinnamong and nutmeg. Very easy and very good! Read More

This isn't going to be a helpful review at all. maybe I didn't put enough sugar on it or should have tried it with butter. But I did not care for this recipe. Read More

I've made this since 7th grade. Our home economics teacher taught us but it also had butter underneath the brown sugar.... Try that... it's even better! Read More

I love this simple recipe. I used brown sugar splenda and added a dash of pumpkin spice. If you don't have the pumpkin spice add cinnamon or nutmeg. Yes this recipe can be messy but very yummy! Read More

This recipe seemed to make the grapefruit quite bitter; in my family of eight there wasn't a single fan. Read More

To Hilarybear - As a kid, my Mum made this for us. My Dad loved grapefruit. She used to slice the segments and then all around the outside first and then cook it. Made it easier to eat. They also make grapefruit spoons. Read More

I wasn't sure I would like a grapefruit heated/broiled but I did. I just used one grapefruit and broiled it in the toaster oven for 8 minutes. It adds a different dimension to the grapefruit and it is a method I will use again. Read More
