Baked Grapefruit Alaska

Directions

1. 1
   Cut grapefruits in half.
2. 2
   Carefully remove fruit sections; set aside fruit skins.
3. 3
   Mix grapefruit sections with grapes and berries in a small bowl.
4. 4
   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.
5. 5
   Refill grapefruit skins with berry mix.
6. 6
   Beat egg whites and cream of tartar in a cold mixing bowl until stiff peaks form.
7. 7
   Fold in sugar.
8. 8
   Cover fruit with merangue.
9. 9
   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.
