Banannas Foster



I SO love cooking with liquor!! It adds such great taste to things once it is cooked down. This dessert is no exception. The rum, bananas, butter and brown sugar do the trick!. Scoop this lovely desert on top of some vanilla bean ice cream or even pound cake, and you have yourself a winner!!


Bananas Foster

Ingredients:
Bananas (not too ripe)
1/4 cup of rum (I love spiced rum)
1 cup of brown sugar (light or dark)
One orange
1 stick of butter

Split the bananas long ways and squeeze the orange juice all over them (keeps them from getting brown). Set aside

In a large saute pan, melt butter over medium heat, add the brown sugar, and turn up heat to medium high. Stir!!

Add sliced bananas to pan and DO NOT STIR (yes, I put this in caps for a reason).
Over the medium high heat, add in your rum. Once the flames hit, remove the pan from the heat and let the flames die down.

Serve over a good quality vanilla ice cream or pound cake. YUMMY!!
