Instructions
1
Preheat your broiler to high heat.
2
Start by cutting each pink grapefruit in half horizontally. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut around each grapefruit segment to loosen the fruit, allowing for easier eating once cooked.
3
Arrange the grapefruit halves cut side up in a 15x10 inch baking pan.
4
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar until evenly combined. Sprinkle this mixture generously over each grapefruit half.
5
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the sugar-topped grapefruit halves.
6
Place the baking pan under the broiler, 4 inches from the heat source. Broil until the sugar begins to bubble and caramelize, which should take about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
7
While the grapefruit is broiling, rinse the grape clusters and roll them in the remaining 1/4 cup of granulated sugar for a sweet touch.
8
Once the grapefruit is caramelized, carefully remove it from the oven. Top each grapefruit half with the sugared grapes for added flavor and presentation.

Serve the Caramelized Citrus Delight warm and enjoy!
