Broiled Grapefuit

Ingredients

• 2 red grapefruit
• ¼ cup of dark rum
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
• 4 maraschino cherries

Directions

Preheat oven broiler on high. Cut each grapefuit in half and t rim the ends of the grapefruit so they sit flat. Using your paring knife, pre-cut the slices so they are ready to scoop out with a regular spoon. Without squeezing, tip out any extra juices that may have formed to make room for the rum.

Pour about 1 tablespoon of rum over each half and sprinkle each with approximately 1½ tablespoons of sugar. Place a cherry in the center.

Broil on high, rotating the pan as needed until the sugar slightly caramelizes, approximately 6 – 8 minutes.

In a bowl or a large sealable bag, combine your mixture and the pork. Let it marinate for 30 minutes while it comes up to room temperature. While this is going on, preheat your oven to 450 degrees.

Drain most of the liquid and transfer pork to a baking dish and bake until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees – approximately 35 – 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let the pork rest for a full 10 minutes before slicing.
