Bananas Foster

Ingredients:

  • 2 bananas (peeled)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup dark brown sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons banana liqueur
  • ¼ cup white rum
  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream

Directions

Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and brush with the lemon juice.

Melt the butter with the sugar in a flat chafing dish or 10 inch skillet. Add the bananas and sauté until just tender. Sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Remove from the heat and add liqueur and rum. Carefully ignite with a long match. Use a large long-handled spoon to baste the bananas with the warm liquid until the flame burns out.

Divide the ice cream among four dishes. Top each one with a banana half and some of the sauce. Serve immediately.
