Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove the ends of the grapefruits to stabilize on the cutting board. Using a sharp knife, remove the skin and bitter pith from the flesh. Over a small bowl, hold grapefruit in 1 hand and carefully remove the segments by sliding the knife between the flesh and the membrane. Toss grapefruit pieces with brown sugar and vanilla and divide among 6 ramekins. In a large bowl, beat egg whites until light and fluffy. Add sugar and beat until meringue is glossy and holds stiff peaks. Top each ramekin with 1/4 cup of ice cream. Cover with meringue and bake until golden brown, about 7 minutes.

A wonderfully light breakfast (or even dessert) that could be an everyday thing, but is also nice enough to serve to guests at a brunch. I got this recipe from my great-aunt's cookbook.

Steps:
- Cut grapefruits in half.
- Carefully remove fruit sections; set aside fruit skins.
- Mix grapefruit sections with grapes and berries in a small bowl.
- You can add a bit of sugar, if you'd like them sweeter. Sometimes I sprinkle them with orange juice, although if you'd like them to be very fancy, you could toss the fruit with a little bit of champagne.
- Refill grapefruit skins with berry mix.
- Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a cold mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
- Fold in sugar.
- Cover fruit with merangue.
- Bake at about 500 degrees until just golden brown.
- It's easiest just to keep an eye on them until they look right; it really dos't take that long.

KELLYMAC'S BAKED GRAPEFRUIT
This is my favorite way to eat grapefruit. By heating the grapefruit up you really bring out the flavors. I usually skip the mint unless I have it on hand, but it makes it look nicer and adds a nice flavor if you are serving to guests.
