PINK GRAPEFRUIT TART WITH EDAMAME ICE CREAM AND BLACK SESAME SEEDS

Steps:

• For pink grapefruit marmalade:
• Cook rind in heavy medium saucepan of boiling water 1 minute; drain. Bring more water to boil in same pan; add rind, boil 1 minute, and drain. Repeat 3 more times (for total of 5 times).
• Combine blanched rind, sugar, grapefruit juice, and star anise in same medium saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until mixture is almost dry, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Discard star anise. Transfer mixture to mini processor and puree until smooth. Transfer marmalade to small bowl. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.
• For pastries:
• Blend flour, powdered sugar, and salt in processor 5 seconds. Add butter; using on/off turns, cut in butter until fine meal forms. Add whipping cream; blend until moist clumps form. Shape dough into thin square; wrap and chill 30 minutes.
• Line small baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out dough on lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch-thick square, trimming if necessary. Cut six 3x2-inch rectangles; transfer to prepared sheet. Cover and chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake pastries uncovered until pale golden but brown at edges, about 12 minutes. Cool pastries on sheet.
• For grapefruit:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut top and bottom 1/2 inch off each grapefruit. Stand each on 1 flat end. Following contour of fruit, cut off all peel and white pith. Working over bowl, cut grapefruits between membranes, releasing segments into bowl.
• Drain grapefruit segments well. Arrange segments, on sides and spaced apart, on prepared sheet. Bake segments until dry to touch but still moist inside, about 1 hour. Cool on sheet.
• Spread 1 tablespoon marmalade on each pastry. Place pastries on plates. Arrange 3 grapefruit segments on each. Scoop Edamame Ice Cream alongside, garnish with celery leaves, and sprinkle lightly with sesame seeds.
• *A brown star-shaped seedpod; available in the spice section of some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and Asian markets.

TART PINK GRAPEFRUIT MARMALADE

Steps:

• Peel grapefruit using a sharp knife. Slice the bitter white pith from the peel, leaving just a thin layer on the peel. Discard the pith. Cut the peel into thin (1/8 inches thick) slices and place in a medium bowl. (I found this easiest do do by cutting the peel in about 8 sections - I could then flatten it out and remove most of the white pith with my knife).
• Cut the grapefruit into sections, removing the membrane and seeds. Add the sections and any juice to the bowl. Stir in sugar. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours - this is to tenderize the peel.
• Stir the orgeat and pectin into the bowl. Transfer to the bread pan fitted with the kneading paddle. Select the jam cycle and start.
• Scrape down the sides 5 and 10 minutes into the cycle.
• Transfer the marmalade to clean jars. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate. Keeps refrigerated for 4 to 6 weeks.
• Note1: Orgeat syrup is an almond-flavored syrup. It is used in cocktails or to flavor coffees.
• Note2: This makes a tart, English-style marmalade. For a sweeter marmalade, increase the sugar to 2 cups and the orgeat to 1/3 cup.
