Where is the recipe from? Taken from my current favourite cookbook, The Vintage Tea party
Ingredients & any changes made? Another recipe with few ingredients (my favourite kind!) Grapefruit of your choice, tablespoon of sugar per grapefruit half, honey, sherry, dollop of crème fraîche, sprig of mint to decorate. You just cut grapefruit in half and cut along the segments. Top with sugar and the 'sherry' (orange juice for me), sprinkle on the sugar & a smidge of butter, then bake. Once out, top with honey - or golden syrup if you're me.
Verdict? Really good. Never in a million years would I have baked a grapefruit, but it's such a great idea. The grapefruit is juicy and sweet, and eating it when warm makes it quite comforting.
I only bothered with the cream as I knew I was going to photograph it for this blog, but normally I wouldn't bother. I am not a huge fan of cream, so I'd prefer to leave it off altogether. I certianly wouldn't buy sherry to use for it, it was tasty enough without it.
Isn't baked grapefruit the best?? I quite often make it with maple syrup rather than honey and everyone eats it up! Love your pic of yours and the food blog...have so missed reading your foodie posts! Take care!
