Baked Grapefruit Halves
Perfect as a side dish for a holiday brunch, these grapefruit halves are dressed-up with a colorful blend of orange, banana, and dried cherries.
Ingredients
-
3 red grapefruits
-
1 medium orange, peeled and sectioned
-
1 medium banana, sliced
-
1/3 cup dried cherries
-
2 tablespoons orange liqueur or orange juice
-
1 tablespoon canola oil
-
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
1.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F . Cut each grapefruit in half horizontally; cut a very thin slice from the bottom of each half so grapefruits will sit flat. Using a grapefruit knife or other small knife, cut around the outer edge to loosen fruit from shell. Cut between each segment and membrane to loosen it.
2.
In a medium bowl, combine orange sections, banana, cherries, and orange liqueur. Place grapefruit halves, cut sides up, in a 3-quart rectangular baking dish. Mound the orange mixture on top of grapefruit halves. Drizzle with oil. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over orange mixture.
3.
Bake about 12 minutes or until grapefruits are warm and topping is heated through.
