To flambe is to cook with alcohol and this french technique , is often seen at many table side presentations for liqueur drenched dishes , where the dish is set a-flame to see a beautiful blue tinged flare up . By burning off the alcohol, flambéing reduces the alcoholic content of the dish , while keeping the flavors of the liquor and the fruit intact . For a fruit flambe , you can use any fruit you like , but I personally prefer working with berries , apple's , banana's and orange's as the best options . This is a super easy peasy dessert which i have put together here with fresh Pineapple , some rum and ginger . Take a look !
