Warm Grapefruit Dessert

Never before have I thought to warm a grapefruit but it's delicious. The cinnamon really helps make it less tart. Grapefruit is at it's peak and right now you can get 10 lbs for $4.99 at Smiths!

1 large grapefruit
1 t cinnamon, or to taste

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Cut the grapefruit in half through the middle. With a serrated citrus knife, loosen the segments, being careful not to cut through the peel. Place the halves, side by side, with the sections facing up, on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with the cinnamon. Bake for 20 minutes, or until warmed through and starting to brown on top. Transfer to serving plates. Let stand for 5 minutes to cool slightly before serving.

Makes 2 servings

(please don't mind my hideous baking sheet. I promise it's clean)

I tried this the other day ... FANTASTIC!! Just had to share. :) Something about the heat reduces a little bit of the tartness ... or, changes it somehow ... makes it so the lack of sugar isn't "scary" to your salivary glands. Ha ha! :)
