Broiled grapefruit with a bit of honey seemed the sweetest way to begin today, the first work day of the new decade. My goal moving forward is to include more recipes in this blog, after all I have a bookcase full of cookbooks and how else am I supposed to become more proficient in the kitchen!? This recipe is from a first edition copy of The Honey Cookbook by Juliette Elkon (originally published in 1955) I scored at Bonnie Slotnick’s.
Broiled Honeyed Grapefruit - The Honey Cookbook
For each grapefruit half: (**I quartered mine, because that is the way I like it.)
2 tsp honey
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp mace (optional)
1/2 tsp butter
Remove seeds from halves of grapefruit. Core and loosen sections. Spread with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon and mace. Dot with butter. Brown under moderate flame or broiler unit. Serve at once.
