The grey weather parted a bit this morning and gave me a chance to have a little breakfast on the patio. I've been needing a little sunshine on my leaves the past few days, so this was a welcome break. I woke up thinking about the incredible grapefruit we got at the market yesterday and how i couldn't wait to have one.
Instead of just ripping into it as is, I went puttering through the cabinet. I saw this bottle of rosewater that I hadn't used in a while and drizzled a little on top of the grapefruit. Then, the sugar and lime zest. Cranked up the broiler just to melt the top. Wow. Just wow. The syrup this makes inside the grapefruit is absolutely divine. This would be so great with some yogurt, whipped cream or sour cream. I will say that a grapefruit spoon would have been a huge help...but I devoured both halves just before the gray clouds reappeared.
