Ingredients

  • 1 large Ruby Red Grapefruit
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme, washed and dried, leaves removed
  • 1 tablespoon crystallized ginger, finely chopped

Instructions

  • Prep grapefruit and broiler. Cut the grapefruit in half horizontally, and then cut each half into about six even wedges. Place them, a few inches apart, on a baking sheet. Set aside.
    Turn on the broiler and place the rack/shelf as close as you can to the flame, with enough room for the grapefruit to be at least a couple inches below it.
  • Make honey "sauce." Add the honey, water, thyme and ginger to a small saucepan, and place it over medium-high heat. Cook only until it's a thinner, evenly combined mixture, about 2 minutes.
    Spoon about half of the honey mixture over the grapefruit wedges.
  • Broil. Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil only until they are beginning to char and are sizzling a bit.
    Then flip each slice of grapefruit over and spoon the remaining honey mixture on top. Return the baking sheet under the broiler until it looks like the other side. (Each side will only take a couple of minutes, so keep a close eye on them!)

Notes

You can use any variety of grapefruit you like.
You can also make this as two larger portions by leaving it in two halves, (like this), and then dividing the sauce between them.
