FLAMBEED VANILLA-POACHED PEARS WITH APRICOT SAUCE



Flambeed Vanilla-Poached Pears with Apricot Sauce image

This is a great dessert for a fancy party or a girl's night in! I love pears, and I love this recipe, because lighting the rum on fire caramelizes the sugar, and pulls out the flavor of the pears. I served this dish to a rich couple and got a hefty tip back, so I figured it must have been good!

Peach Flambe With Rum image

Apricots or another fresh fruit could be substituted in this recipe. The most important factors are the quality and ripeness of the fruit. The peaches are cut into wedges and sauteed in a little butter and sugar until they soften and their juices begin to caramelize. Then, lemon juice and peach preserves or jam are added and the dish is finished with dark rum for flavor.

FRESH FRUITS FLAMBE



Fresh Fruits Flambe image

A delightful after dinner dessert, this fruit flambe can be spooned over ice cream or enjoyed just as it is. Danaka's Palace in Toronto developed this recipe in honour of Canada's greatest Prime Minister, Pierre Elliot Trudeau. Mr. Trudeau visited Danaka's Palace frequently, whether in an official capacity, or just in town to attend a theatre. I am far from being a famous politician, but I do attend theatres frequently. This particular recipe has a permanent home in my collection of "fast and easy to prepare"; my guests enjoy the selection of fruit used to produce this dessert. Increase the recipe logically to serve more guests.
