Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup rum dark
  • pound firm-ripe mangoes 
  • tablespoons turbinado sugar such as sugar in the raw

Equipment

  • sauce pan
  • knife
  • baking pan
  • aluminum foil
  • broiler

Directions

  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. Wash and dry mangoes.
  3. Remove 2 flat sides of each mango with a sharp knife, cutting lengthwise alongside pit and cutting as close to pit as possible so that mango flesh is in 2 large pieces (reserve remaining fruit for another use). Make a crosshatch pattern with a small sharp knife, cutting across fruit down to skin at 1/2-inch intervals and being careful not to pierce through. Grasp fruit at both ends and turn inside out to make flesh side convex.
  4. Arrange fruit, skin side down, in a large shallow baking pan lined with foil and sprinkle evenly with 4 tablespoons turbinado sugar (total). Broil 5 inches from heat until fruit is golden brown (it will not brown evenly), about 5 minutes. Arrange fruit on a large platter.
  5. Cook rum with remaining sugar in a small saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.
  6. Remove from heat, then carefully ignite rum with a kitchen match and pour, still flaming, over warm mangoes.
  7. Serve immediately.
