Broiled Grapefruit with Brown Sugar

Just enough brown sugar is sprinkled over freshly cut grapefruit halves to melt and caramelize slightly under the broiler. Use either pink or white grapefruit, depending on availability and your preference. If you wish, section the grapefruit before broiling to make it easier to eat.
