CARAMELIZED GRAPEFRUIT


My husband bought 2 boxes of fruit the other night; one huge box filled with oranges and the other filled with grapefruit. Grapefruit alone is fabulous but grapefruit with warm sugar is magnificent...caramelized grapefruit it is! Next time I make it I am going to bust out the creme brulee torch (that is collecting dust in the cupboard) and torch the top of the sugar to make it beautifully caramelized on top while keeping the grapefruit cool.


Here is half of my grapefruits...I think I need to buy a juicer!


Caramelized Grapefruit
Grapefruit
sugar

Turn the broiler on high and move the rack to the top shelf.
Cut the grapefruit in half and the membranes.

Sprinkle the top of the grapefruit heavily with sugar. I used brown sugar and white sugar. I really couldn't taste a big difference. Broil on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil for 3 minutes or until caramelized.


Serve immediately.

I've just bought an old-fashion iron that is probably the perfect size for a grapefruit.Time to get my new gadget out!

Mmmm, I grew up eating this. Great idea using a torch instead of broiling them.
