Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
6 large slightly under-ripe mangoes, halved and pitted
1/3 cup bourbon
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
1/2 cup creme fraiche or sour cream, optional
Directions
- Heat the grill to high.
- Place a medium saucepan on the grates of the grill, add the butter, and brown sugar, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has melted and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.
- While the sauce is cooking, remove the mangoes from the peel and cut into diamond shapes. Place the diamonds onto serving plates.
- Remove the pan with the sauce from the heat and add the bourbon. Using a long lit match, ignite the bourbon and allow the flames to subside. Stir in the cinnamon, salt and pecans. Top mangoes with the sauce and with a large dollop of creme fraiche, if using.
