4 Servings

Beat egg yolks with ¼ cup light brown sugar, and the salt until light and creamy. Slowly stir scalded cream into egg yolk mixture. In a double boiler, cook, stirring constantly, over simmering water until consistency of thin mayonnaise.

Add rum, and pour into a shallow broiler-proof serving dish.

Refrigerate several hours or overnight. Sift light brown sugar over custard to the depth of about ¼-inch. Place under broiler, watching every minute, until sugar caramelizes, and begins to brown.

Refrigerate immediately. Serve with fruit. Makes 4 servings.
