It's citrus season in the Northeast, and to celebrate, the archives offers this 1949 recipe for honey baked grapefruit. This clip - an interview with then Florida Governor Fuller Warren - is from a WNYC program we've yet to identify.

We're not sure how popular baked grapefruit was in the 1940s, and we were only able to find one instance of it on a contemporary restaurant menu: Thanksgiving dinner at the Hotel New Yorker in 1937.

This audio is part of a longer eight minute interview with Warren, which you can listen to in its entirety below. The Governor had been up to New York on official business and dropped by the studios to talk about a wide range of topics, like removing livestock from the Florida highways and the proper way of pronouncing Florida town names.

Many thanks to Rebecca Sims for the photo.  You can find her version of baked grapefruit here. The original airdate for the audio was December 2nd, 1949. Audio courtesy of the NYC Municipal Archives WNYC Collection.
