How to Make Fresh Fruits Flambe

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a flambe pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and stir constantly until the mixture turns a rich, amber caramel.
  3. Carefully pour in 1/4 cup each of fresh orange and pineapple juice. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  4. Add 1 cup of mixed fruit (e.g., 1/2 cup sliced peaches, 1/4 cup sliced strawberries, 1/4 cup blueberries). Stir gently to coat the fruit in the caramel.
  5. Add 1 tablespoon each of maraschino liqueur, Grand Marnier, and Cognac. Carefully ignite the mixture using a long match or kitchen torch (adults only!).
  6. Allow the flames to die down, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens. Do not overcook, as this will make the fruit mushy.
  7. Serve immediately over vanilla ice cream or enjoy on its own.
