Ingredients

• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons chopped crystallized ginger
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 large pink grapefruits

Instructions

1. Preheat broiler.
2. In an electric coffee/spice grinder combine sugar, ginger, and vanilla and ground fine.
3. Halve each grapefruit crosswise and run knife around each section to loosen membranes. Arrange grapefruits, cut sides up, in a flameproof baking dish or baking pan just large enough to hold them in one layer and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Broil grapefruits about 1 1/2 inches from heat until sugar melts and tops begin to brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
4. Serve grapefruits at room temperature.
