Ingredients

  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1/2 Cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/3 Cup bourbon
  • 1/4 Tsp ground cinnamon
  • 6 large slightly under-ripe mangoes, halved and pitted
  • 1/8 Tsp 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.
