How to Make Fruits Afire
- Drain pears, apricots, and cherries, reserving the syrup from canned fruits.
- In a saucepan, combine the reserved fruit syrups, lemon juice, cinnamon stick, apricot preserves, and 2 tablespoons of rum.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer until the sauce has reduced by half (about 10-15 minutes), stirring occasionally.
- Remove the cinnamon stick and pour the reduced syrup over the prepared fruits. Gently toss to coat.
- Refrigerate the fruit and syrup mixture for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the fruit and syrup in an oven-safe casserole dish.
- Cover the casserole dish and heat in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the fruit is warmed through.
- While the fruit is warming, warm the remaining 4 tablespoons of rum in a small saucepan (do not boil).
- Carefully transfer the warm fruit to a serving dish. At the table, ignite the warmed rum (using a long match or lighter, carefully and away from your face and hair).
- Slowly pour the flaming rum over the fruit. Serve immediately after the flames have died down. Caution: Exercise extreme care when working with flames.
