Hot Baked Grapefruit Breakfast

The grapefruit, native to the West Indies, was not commercially
grown until the 1880s and in fact Napoleon's chief surgeon was the
instigator of those grown on Florida in the first citrus
plantation.

Ingredients

For four people (Vegetarian)

2 grapefruit
4 dessertspoons medium sherry
demerara sugar
10g butter


Recipe

Cut the grapefruit in half and using a grapefruit knife loosen the segments. Discard the pips and cut the centre core from each half.

Arrange the grapefruit halves close together in a roasting tin and spoon the sherry into each grapefruit. Sprinkle generously with demerara sugar and place a small nut of butter on top of each half.

Place in the centre of a hot oven 200C/400F/GAS Mk 6 and bake for 15 minutes. Spoon over any juices which may remain in the baking tin. Serve at once, hot, to soft easy classical music.
