Grapefruit Brûlée

Ingredients:
1 grapefruits, halved crosswise
2 tablespoons raw sugar

Directions:
Trim 1/4–1/2″ of peel from bottom of each grapefruit half to stabilize the fruit and prevent it from rocking back and forth.
Place grapefruit, cut side down, on paper towels to dry for 5 minutes. Invert grapefruit and sprinkle 1 Tbsp. sugar evenly over exposed flesh of each grapefruit half.
Using a kitchen torch, heat sugar until melted and beginning to turn dark amber.
Alternatively, preheat broiler.
Transfer grapefruit, cut side up, to a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Broil grapefruit, watching closely to prevent burning, until the sugar is melted and beginning to turn dark amber, about 8 minutes.
Let grapefruit cool before serving.

Yield: 2 servings
