I bought a bag of grapefruits ..only way i ever liked it was broiled with brown sugar on it .. brown sugar is out of the question right now so any ideas what to do with grapefruit to spice it up a bit?

    Hmmm... I love them plain, but....

    Honey tastes great on them. Splenda if you need 0 cal, just go easy on it or it will taste funny. Juice them and add in some sweeter fruits like strawberries, oranges, and/or tangerines. I love half oj half grapefruit (with or without tequila :-p). Soda water with fresh grapefruit is awesome too.

    Cook with them. Great on chicken or fish. Look up a teriyaki recipe and sub it in for the pineapple.

    Yum. Now I want one. Good thing I have one left at home!

    hmmm. I've always liked them plain cause they have such a unique taste. My initial advice would have been to "google it" but the internet is right at my finger tips and contains many wonders. I found this...if you like yogurt or sorbet, it may be a good combo:

    My mom used to add the segments to her oatmeal with cinnamon and loved it. Give it a try!

    I like them plain - some folks eat them with salt (I suspect to cut the bitterness - salt can a decent job at that).

    Take the sections out and top it with wheat germ!

    I eat them plain as well or sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar.

    Cut into sections and sprinkle with pomegranate seeds - nice color contrast and the seeds add crunch.

    I just eat them cold with salt. But I like sour and bitter tastes. After reading your post, though, I'm gonna have to try one broiled with brown sugar on top. ????
