Method

Preheat broiler. Arrange all fruit on a large cookie sheet. Broil fruit about 5 minutes or until just starting to brown. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine the lime juice, rum, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cardamom. Place the fruit on a large platter; spoon rum mixture over fruit. Sprinkle with the lime zest and mint. If desired, dollop with whipped cream. Serve immediately.

 

Notes: This is such a de-LIGHT-ful dessert - people ask for it over and over. I do include the whipped light cream but perhaps one person uses it - the rest (as do I) do not use it at all - the rum mixture gives this so much flavor - there's no need.

 

Number of Servings: 4 - 6
