Best. Grapefruit. Ever.

I could eat 10 of these in one sitting.

Word of warning: check your meds before eating grapefruit.  (I couldn't eat it when I was on Cyclosporine for a vicious flare awhile back.)
But whoa.  This sweet grapefruit recipe is delicious and takes about 7 minutes total.  

Ingredients:
  • 1/2 grapefruit (But, to be honest, you'll eat both halves.  Just double the recipe...) 
  • 1 Tbsp honey  
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract 
  • Pinch of cardamom 
  • Pinch of cinnamon 
  • Pinch of nutmeg
 Directions:
  1. Position your top oven rack to 4" below the top of the oven.
  2. Preheat your oven to high broil.
  3. Cut your grapefruit in half, and also cut all segments (like a pie) for easy scooping/eating later.
  4. Drizzle grapefruit with honey first--this holds all the spices nicely.
  5. Drizzle vanilla extract over grapefruit.
  6. Sprinkle all the spices over the grapefruit.
  7. Set grapefruit in a baking dish (use one with edges because the honey mixture does run)
  8. Broil for 5 minutes. 
Enjoy! It's impossible not to.
