Good Eats - The Ballad of Salty and Sweet

• 2 red or pink grapefruits, chilled
• 2 tablespoons coarse sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt

1. 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.
2. Sprinkle each half evenly with the sugar. Using a blowtorch, melt the sugar to form a golden brown and crispy surface. Sprinkle the hot sugar with the salt, and serve immediately.
