Mango skewers with vanilla-bean ice-cream

Cut mangoes (peeled and seeded) into 4cm pieces and thread onto 8-12 short bamboo skewers (soak in cold water for 15 minutes before using). Place skewers in a shallow ceramic or glass dish.

Combine 50ml white rum, ¼ cup honey and 60g melted butter in a small bowl and stir well. Pour rum mixture over mango skewers, turn to coat and set aside at room temperature for 15-25 minutes. Place skewers on a large foil-lined tray and grill under a preheated hot grill until heated through.

To serve 

Serve skewers drizzled with remaining rum mixture and vanilla-bean ice-cream.
