Baked Grapefruit

3 large grapefruit.
1 cup crushed pineapple.
Brown sugar.
Sherry.
6 cherries or pieces of crystallised ginger.

Method: Cut the grapefruit into halves and cut out the pulp. Carefully remove the seeds and coarse membranes and chop pulp. Put into a bowl with the crushed pineapple and sherry and leave until ready to bake. Place grapefruit shells in an oven-proof dish and fill with mixture. Sprinkle top with the brown sugar and a dot of butter. Bake 10 mins., until hot and bubbling. Be careful not to burn tops. Serve at once, garnished with cherries or ginger.
