are a logical starting point for a low-fat dessert. In this recipe, the
fruits are saut6ed. then doused with dark rum and ignited. When setting
aflame, never pour the liquor directly from the bottle into the pan. Always
measure out the liquor and transfer it to a small pitcher ahead of time.

In large skillet, combine apple juice and sugar. Cook over medium heat,
stirring often, until simmering, 4 minutes. Add mango, bananas, kiwi
fruits, strawberries and cinnamon and cook, stirring occasionally to coat
fruit with juice mixture, 4 minutes.

to subside and cook 1 minute.

spoon warm fruit over top.
