Flambeed Fruit over Ice Cream

My husband has many talents.  One of which is a little something he picked up in his teenage years - flaming fruit over ice cream.  Amazing.  Not only is it a crowd-pleaser visually speaking, but it is so delicious.  Here's his process:

1.  Add brown sugar and a little butter in a pan and heat over the burner.

2.  Add an alcohol mixture of rum, brandy, and whiskey once the sugar/butter is heated.

3.  Add fruit of choice (strawberries, peaches, blueberries, apples, raspberries, pineapple...) and sautee.

4.  Turn the pan ever so slightly so the flame touches the alcohol (for gas ranges) or use a lighter to create a flame and touch to alcohol.  Stand back.  We sometimes turn out the lights to appreciate the flame.

5.  Let all the alcohol burn off and continue to cook for a few minutes.

6.  Pour over ice cream, cheesecake, or pound cake or whatever you'd like.  This is strawberries and pineapple over ice cream.
