MANGOES FLAMBé
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Wash and dry mangoes. Remove 2 flat sides of each mango with a sharp knife, cutting lengthwise alongside pit and cutting as close to pit as possible so that mango flesh is in 2 large pieces (reserve remaining fruit for another use). Make a crosshatch pattern with a small sharp knife, cutting across fruit down to skin at 1/2-inch intervals and being careful not to pierce through. Grasp fruit at both ends and turn inside out to make flesh side convex.
- Arrange fruit, skin side down, in a large shallow baking pan lined with foil and sprinkle evenly with 4 tablespoons turbinado sugar (total). Broil 5 inches from heat until fruit is golden brown (it will not brown evenly), about 5 minutes. Arrange fruit on a large platter.
- Cook rum with remaining sugar in a small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, then carefully ignite rum with a kitchen match and pour, still flaming, over warm mangoes. Serve immediately.
FRESH FRUITS FLAMBE
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.

Tips:
- Use ripe fruit: This will ensure that your flambé is sweet and flavorful. If your fruit is not ripe, you can ripen it by placing it in a paper bag with an apple for a few days.
- Choose a good quality rum: The rum you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your flambé. Choose a rum that is at least 80 proof and has a good flavor. Dark rum is a good choice for flambé, as it has a richer flavor than light rum.
- Be careful when flaming the rum: Always flambé your rum in a well-ventilated area, away from any flammable objects. Do not point the flame at anyone or anything other than the rum.
- Serve your flambé immediately: Flambé is best served immediately after it is made. This will ensure that it is still warm and flavorful.

Tropical fruit flambé is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and flavorful fruit, caramelized sugar, and flambéed rum, this dessert is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a special dessert to make, give tropical fruit flambé a try. You won't be disappointed!
