BROILED GRAPEFRUIT WITH VANILLA-GINGER SUGAR

(Serves 6)

For this recipe you will need:

• 2/3 cup sugar
• 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger, chopped
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla bean seeds (scraped from the pod)
• 6 large pink grapefruit

Preheat Broiler. In an electric coffee/spice grinder; combine the sugar, ginger and vanilla and grind fine. Halve each grapefruit crosswise and run a knife around each section to loosen membrane. Arrange the grapefruits, cut side up, in a baking dish, just large enough to hold them in one layer. Sprinkle the tops with the sugar mixture. Broil grapefruits about 1-1/2 inches from the heat until the sugar melts and the tops begin to brown, about 10 -15 minutes. Serve at room temperature.
