Citruslove Bloghop - Broiled Maple Orange & Grapefruit Supreme

Winter is the prime season for citrus. Sweet-tart grapefruit, juicy sunset colored oranges, perfect tiny tangerines and so much more. My favorite are oranges - in all their forms. I love to snack on clementines and I keep oranges handy to zest into both sweet and savory recipes for a fresh hint of citrus. Even if it wasn't #citruslove month, I would probably be making all manner of orange recipes this month like this broiled maple grapefruit and orange suprême.

This is one of my favorite ways to serve citrus to a crowd. The combination of tart grapefruit and succulent orange broiled with a kiss of maple makes a typically cold fruit sweet and warm. 


Broiled Maple Orange & Grapefruit Suprême ~ serves 6-8
3 large grapefruit
5 oranges
maple syrup to taste (2-3 tablespoons)
1 tablespoon orange liquer

Suprême citrus, reserving juice. To suprême citrus means to segment it. To do this, cut off the ends to give yourself a flat edge with which to work. Then cut off the skin and pith (reserve skin to make candied peels if desired) and segment the sections. I keep my segments in a colander over a bowl to catch the juice.





Reduce juice over medium heat until you have about a half cup remaining. In the meantime, layer citrus segments in a baking dish. Combine reduced juice with orange liqueur and maple syrup. Gently pour over citrus and broil 3-5 minutes or until top begins to caramelize. Serve warm.
