| Brûléed grapefruit |
While making this simple brown sugar syrup as a topping for yet another take on the classic french toast, I naturally thought about other uses, and why not? The simple satisfying sweetness of it—brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg—is perfection. The mind goes there anyway.
Applying it as a melted mixture atop a grapefruit and broiling it produces a caramelized fruit that makes an elegant dessert. The tartness of it with the familiarity of a brûlée makes it surprising and comforting. Like the best of new experiences, it was totally different and exactly what you would expect it to be, without detracting from it at all.
That's hope.
