The 1946 Trader Vic's Book of Food and Drink describes a turn of the century dessert called "Fruit Crown" where fresh fruit is pilled around and over a mound of sugar cubes. The entire thing is saturated with liquor and set of fire at the table. The fruit is cooked for a good 10 minutes and spooned onto ice cream, etc.

The recipe is described as prose and I am looking for other descriptions, photos or recipes for this or a similar dessert. I am interested in recreating this for benefit dinner in May.
