Cut the grapefruit in half width-wise, not with the stem side.

Use a serrated knife to cut along the membranes of the grapefruit to loosen the segments.

Work your way around the entire grapefruit, cutting down to the bottom without cutting through the skin.

Place the grapefruit halves in an ovenproof pan or microwave-safe container.

Sprinkle brown sugar over each grapefruit half, using about 1/2 teaspoon to 1 teaspoon per half.

Heat the grapefruit in the microwave for 1 minute and 20 seconds, adjusting time based on the temperature of the grapefruit.

Use a grapefruit spoon or regular spoon to scoop out the segments and juices after heating.

Scrape the edges of the grapefruit to ensure no fruit is wasted.
