By Jeannette Ordas of Everybody likes Sandwiches

I was ever a grapefruit fanatic. I intend it has something to create amongst my mom's midnight grapefruit pregnancy cravings that she got when she was important amongst me. I dearest eating grapefruit correct out of the fridge, mutual depression temperature together with juicy together with amount of that wonderful pucker. I consume 1 one-half for breakfast together with salve the other one-half inwards the refrigerator for a refreshing pick-me-up subsequently on inwards the day.

My husband, on the other hand, doesn't portion my grapefruit love. It's likewise sour, likewise bitter, blah, blah, blah. So I was surprised a few years agone when nosotros stayed at a fancy bed together with breakfast that he ate all his grapefruit. He didn't only consume it, he loved it. You see, the flim-flam was that it was covered inwards carbohydrate together with thus bruleed…which is only a fancy advert for burned or caramelized sugar. 

It's super slow to brand at abode together with it plant best if you've got a kitchen blowtorch or a gas oven broiler. Unfortunately, I accept to brand create amongst the broiler inwards my electrical oven, but that's okay likewise – but it doesn't give the carbohydrate a crispy, burnt crust. 

This forenoon I got fancy amongst my grapefruit together with broiled it amongst a footling ginger tossed into the carbohydrate mix. I used one-half fresh grated ginger together with one-half powdered ginger because my fresh ginger was a tiny stub together with felt I needed to add together a flake to a greater extent than of that ginger flavour. Finely chopped candied ginger would hold upwardly fantabulous hither too. I also added a flake of body of body of water tabular array salt to counteract the sweetness together with assist residual out the bitterness. 

I used 1 grapefruit hither - one-half for me, one-half for the husband. He loved it. I'm guessing I'm going to accept to foremost sharing my grapefruit halves from at nowadays on. 

Wait, who said this was a proficient idea?

Grapefruit Ginger Brûlée
