PB&J CRèME BRûLéE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Spread 2 teaspoons of the strawberry jam in the bottom of each of 6 round or oval 6-ounce crème brûlée ramekins. Arrange the strawberries, slightly shingled, in a layer on top of the jam. Place the ramekins in a large roasting pan or rimmed sheet tray.
• Bring the cream, peanut butter, salt and 1/3 cup of the granulated sugar to a simmer in a saucepan, stirring often. Add the scraped vanilla bean and stir to combine. Place the yolks and remaining 1/3 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Temper the yolks with about 1/4 cup of the warm cream mixture and whisk to combine, then add the warm egg mixture to the saucepan to fully temper.
• Using a ladle, divide the cream mixture among the ramekins, filling each about three-quarters full. Place the roasting pan in the oven and add enough warm water to come halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Bake until the centers are set, about 45 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the ramekins to a sheet tray and let cool completely at room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the tops with just enough of the turbinado sugar to cover in a thin, even layer. Shake off any excess. Torch the sugar with a brûlée or kitchen blowtorch until melted and lightly caramelized. Carefully transfer to plates and serve.
