Peach Flamb Dessert Recipe

Learning the right techniques to flambe your food can turn an ordinary meal, savory or sweet, into an unforgettable dish. From the french term for "Flamed, " "To flamb" Means to add alcohol to the preparation so it bursts into flame. This process partially burns the alcohol content but keeps the wonderful flavor of the alcohol used. Although many people think that alcohol is burned in its entirety, flamb dishes shouldn't be served to pregnant women, kids, or people who abstain from alcohol. Our wonderful recipe for a romantic dessert for two uses the flamb technique to enrich the flavor of ripe peaches. Make in less than 10 minutes and serve with vanilla ice cream, mascarpone, baked ricotta, or whipped cream. As with any flambeing process, don't allow pets or kids to be near the stove, wear an apron, and be mindful of the volatility of alcohol, always standing as far back as you can. Remember to never add the alcohol from the bottle to the pan, but to transfer the amount you're using into a ramekin or a small container. There's the chance that the whole bottle can catch on fire.
