Bundle Up with Grapefruit Brulée for a Winter Treat

Winter means two seemingly unrelated things: snow and grapefruit. Well, you might not get snow where you are, but chances are that its chilly outside. And regardless of where you live, grapefruits should be plentiful at the supermarket right now. Grapefruits, like oranges and lemons, are winter citrus fruits. So while its cold outside, we can enjoy some mouth puckering treats by the fire. This incredibly simple recipe for bruléed grapefruit is a fun way to liven up a brunch menu. You make grapefruit brulée the exact same way you make that other famous caramelized dessert, crème brulée. Just generously scatter sugar on top of the grapefruits and then either broil or use a blow-torch to achieve a delicious caramelized effect. Serve these alongside scrambled eggs, bacon and toast for breakfast or with some vanilla ice cream for dessert.
