Fast and easy
pineapple rum flambe makes an elegant and light finish
to a meal, yet it is quite simple to make. Try this
method using flavored rum or other fruits.
INGREDIENTS :
> 1/4 cup brown sugar
> 1 small fresh pineapple, ends trimmed, skin
peeled, cored, cut into 6 slices, and patted dry
> 1/4 cup butter
> 1/4 cup rum, warmed
PREPARATION :
Place brown sugar in a shallow soup bowl. Press
each pineapple ring into the brown sugar, coating both
sides.
Heat butter in a large, heavy skillet on
medium-low heat. When hot, place pineapple slices
in the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3 to 4
minutes until nicely browned. Flip the slices and
brown the other side.
Move skillet far from the heat source, carefully
pour in warmed rum, and ignite with a long match
or barbecue lighter to flambe. Return to heat and
let alcohol burn off. Remove from heat and let rest
for 5 minutes. (Depending on the size of the pineapple,
you may need to do this in two skillets.)
Flambed pineapple slices may be served as is with the pan sauce or as a topping
for pound cake or ice cream.
