Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/4 cup Butter
2 cups Seedless green grapes -- split in halves
2 Hot chiles -- minced
jalapenos or -- serranos
3 tablespoons Rum
1 tablespoon Honey
1/4 teaspoon Vanilla
1 dash Ground nutmeg
1 dash Ground cinnamon

Melt butter in small omelet pan. Add grapes and saute 3 minutes. Add minced
chiles and rum. Saute l more minute, then flambe by carefully tilting pan into
gas flame until pan flames up or by holding match over evaporating alcohol.
When flames subside, add honey, vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cook 3 minutes
more, stirring frequently. Makes about l l/3 cups, 4 servings. From the article
in the LA Times, issued 6/28/92, comes this comment on this recipe: "Chef
Frank Khachi concocted grape-habanero topping to serve over a handmade
pineapple parfait, but it's great served over plain ice creams such as
chocolate, vanilla or strawberry. Add the sauce to the ice cream just before
serving. Chiles vary widely in their level of heat, but they become milder as
they are cooked. If you're cooking for total sissies, try this with only one
pepper. If you already have a serious pepper habit, better increase the dosage
to three or four".
