Ingredients

• 3-4 Texas Red Grapefruit, halved
• 1/2 cup tomato paste
• 1/2 cup catsup
• 1 Tbs cornstarch
• 1/4 tsp liquid hot pepper sauce

• 1/4 cup melted butter or margarine

Preparation

Step 1

First, prepare catsup; juice enough grapefruit to make 2 cups. Pour juice into saucepan along with tomato paste, catsup, cornstarch and hot pepper sauce. Bring to boil, stirring constantly; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Keep warm.

Dip ribs in beaten egg; then roll in seasoned crumbs. Arrange on foil covered broiler pan. Drizzle butter over ribs.

Broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until crisp and brown (about 10 minutes), turning frequently and basting with drippings.

Serve with warm grapefruit catsup as a dip.
