Jody's Flaming Dessert

One of the simplest I know...the family loves it...it can be done with a hot plate...and it's spectacular to watch.

Get yourself some fresh blueberries, raspberries and strawberries. Wash them all, and cut the strawberries into halves.

Melt half a stick of butter in a sauce pan, and saute the strawberries on high heat for about five minutes. Then dump in the blueberries for about two minutes. Add a quarter cup of fresh orange juice, and a full cup and a half of either Gran Marnier or Drambuie. Dump in the raspberries. When the sauce is bubbling fast, get a lighter and flame the mixture - stirring to make sure all the alcohol burns away.

Then spoon immediately over Blue Bell French Vanilla ice cream.

Trust me.
