This proved to be an interesting dish. It was a little difficult melting the castor sugar in the oven so I thought it would be quicker to do it in a pot on the stove. Well the sugar got burnt a little and the whole dish was bitter. Had it not been bitter, I think this was a great desert!

Nevertheless, Rob Zimmer was near by to save the day with a little flambe action to draw your attention away from the bitterness of the over cooked sugar.

Note to self, take all pots off the stove when answering the door!
