Segment the grapefruit by cutting all the skin away, including the white pith.

Cut close to the membranes to create clean grapefruit segments.

Place the segmented grapefruit in small oven-proof dishes (ramekins).

Squeeze the leftover membrane to extract juice into a bowl or pitcher.

In a separate bowl, mix apricot preserves with a little grapefruit juice to thin it out.

Top each serving of grapefruit with the apricot mixture before broiling.

Adjust the oven shelf to the highest level, right under the broiler.

Broil the grapefruit for about 3 minutes until bubbly and the topping starts to brown.

Sprinkle toasted coconut on top and return to the broiler for a few seconds until the coconut browns.
