Ingredients

• 4 whole Oranges
• 2 whole Grapefruit
• 4 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler on high or set your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Peel the oranges and grapefruits, then carefully remove as much of the white pith as possible. Use a sharp knife to slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds or segments.

Step 3

Arrange the citrus slices in a single layer in an oven-safe dish, slightly overlapping them if needed.

Step 4

Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the citrus slices, followed by a light dusting of ground cinnamon.

Step 5

Dot the top of the citrus slices with small pieces of unsalted butter.

Step 6

Place the dish under the broiler or in the oven and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the brown sugar has melted and begun to caramelize along the edges of the fruit.

Step 7

Carefully remove the dish from the oven and let it cool slightly for a few minutes.

Step 8

Serve the warm citrus slices in shallow bowls, spooning some of the syrupy juices from the dish over the top. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
