Ingredients
Method
1.Prepare your grapefruit by cutting off all the peel and pith with a sharp knife and removing the core. Slice the fruit into quite thick slices, about 1cm.
2.To make the syrup, put the sugar and cold water into a large saucepan or frying pan, then add the cinnamon. Cook this over a low heat, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
3.Once dissolved, turn up the heat and boil the mixture for about two minutes, until you have a lovely thick syrup.
4.Poach the prepared slices of grapefruit in the syrup on a low heat for six minutes. You have to do this in several batches, as the slices should not be layered. Turn the slices halfway through cooking.
5.Place the grapefruit on a serving dish and pour over the brandy. Serve warm with whipped cream or yoghurt.
