Ingredients

  • 2 pink grapefruit chilled
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cardamom optional

Instructions

  • Halve each grapefruit crosswise, and cut a thin slice off the bottom of each half to stabilize the pieces.
  • Remove all seeds from the grapefruit, and loosen the segments with a paring knife.
  • 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.
  • Sprinkle each half evenly with the sugar and cardamom. Using a blowtorch, melt the sugar to form a golden brown and crispy surface. Let cool then serve.

Notes

  • Alternatively to using a blow torch, 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.
  • Cut a ¼ off the bottom of the grapefruit to make it easy for it to sit flat without any rocking or tilting
  • If you don't have a blow torch, use your oven broiler. Exercise some pre-caution, since broiling can actually cause a flame. It's rare, but can happen. If it does don't freak-out, just keep the door close and allow it to go out it. The other resaon to stay nearby is depending on your oven, the sugar can cook fast
  • The closer you can get your pan to the heating element of the broiler the better.
