Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat butter in a large, oven-proof sauté pan. Add mango slices, sugar, and salt. Sauté until the sugars begin to caramelize and turn a light, golden brown, 5-7 minutes over medium heat.
  2. In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, mix rum and triple sec. Pour the liquor over the mangoes and let the liquor heat for 30-45 seconds.
  3. Light the liquor with a match and watch the show as the flames dance around your sauté pan. Once all the alcohol has burned off, the flames will go out. Sprinkle the mangoes with 1 tsp lemon juice.
  4. Serve mangoes over ice cream or yogurt. And, don’t forget to ladle some of the sweet, rum-infused sauce over top too!
