DIRECTIONS
Preheat your oven's broiler.
Cut the grapefruits in half, and use a small serrated knife to cut out the sections in the halves. Spoon the sections and juice into a bowl, then scrape out all of the remaining thick skins and pulp. Spoon the sections from the bowl back into the halves. This is best done one half at a time.
Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over the top of each grapefruit half, adjusting as you see fit. Dot with butter. Place the halves on a cookie sheet.
Broil for 3 to 5 minutes, until the butter is melted and sugar is starting to turn brown.

I just cut the grapefruit in half and put the toppings on (that is what the original recipe calls for) because I find it easier to scoop out the flesh when it is warm and softer.

I enjoyed this at work today. I used a combination of 2tsp brown surgar and 1/2tsp white surgar and sprinkled with cinnamon and dotted with butter per half of grapefruit.

I did what I always do to 'prepare' grapefruit - slice the sections and around the edge, without actually removing the fruit. I also used Smart Balance and Splenda, as my diet has been horrible this week. This was very light and refreshing. Thanks!

This was interesting to try but I didn't like the addition of the butter at all. Also mine was only warm on top. I think I like the old cold with sugar sprinkled on top better. Thanks!

A friend gifted us with a box of Texas grapefruit, and I needed to find a way to get my family to eat them all, so searched under "ingredients" for grapefruit. (There's not much!) I sectioned the grapefruit and left them in the skins. 3 minutes under the broiler was not enough to heat the grapefruit through, so the top was warm and the bottom was cold. I would leave in the broiler a little longer next time. Got rid of some grapefruit, though!

I just brought back 5 lbs. of fresh pink grapefruit from my parents tree in Florida and decided to try this recipe. I keep my grapefruits at room temperature on my counter. After cutting out the grapefruit I cut another one and removed the fruit and placed in a bowl (1 1/2 grapefruits). Next I took another small bowl and mixed the cinnamon and sugar together then drained the grapefruit (to drink) and ladled into ONE shell. I was intrigued by the addition of the butter so I decided to try adding it. The most time consuming part was tearing out the inside of the fruit so I used kitchen shears to make it easier and faster. If I were to make it again I would cut down on the cinnamon. Frankly, it's just easier (and less time consuming) to cut and half sprinkle with sugar or slenda and cut the sections and eat!

Very good and well worth the trouble! I had had this once before at a brunch and was pleasantly surprised to see it here. I omitted the butter and cooked them a bit longer per another review adn they were perfect! Will definitely make this again.

Nice rich flavor. This really mellowed the bite of the grapefruit. Not sure I liked it as well as plain grapefruit with just sugar, it was different eating warm grapefruit, but good. I might do this again for a nice change of pace. Definitely section them as directed before baking. Thanks for sharing, it was nice to have something different to change up my same ol breakfast!

This was just ok. I think I'll keep eating my grapefruit plain like I always do.
