Ingredients

2 large red grapefruits, at room temperature
8 teaspoons dark rum
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon fine salt

Directions

Position a rack in the upper third of the oven. Preheat the broiler to high.

Halve each grapefruit, then loosen the segments by cutting along the membranes with a paring or grapefruit knife. Drizzle 2 teaspoons of rum evenly over each half.

In a small bowl, combine the butter, sugar, flour, allspice, and salt. Using your fingertips, pinch the ingredients together until the mixture forms soft crumbs. Sprinkle the crumbs evenly over the cut grapefruits.

Place grapefruits on a broiler pan, and broil until the crumbs are lightly browned, bubbling, and shiny, about 7 minutes. Serve immediately or cooled slightly.

Cook's Note: Serve these for dessert at either dinner or brunch.

Only Good Thing Was the Topping
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

Ick. My family and I didn't like this at all. The rum was far too strong, and completely ruined the dish, and I put less on... than the amount called for. I loved the topping, however. If I make this again, I'll omit the rum and perhaps use something else like simple sugar syrup.Read more

Strong, and Kids Didn't Like
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I thought this recipe was okay, but the kids (3 of them) thought the 2 teaspoons of rum per grapefruit half was very... apparent, even after broiling. I think I will try a different broiled grapefruit recipe next time.Read more
