Default Re: Banana Recipes

Mmmm... the baked banana recipes sound wonderful. I love warm bananas in a stick sauce with ice cream melting over the top. Divine. I didn't see a recipe for Bananas Foster here, so of course I have to add one. I love this stuff.

I've omitted the banana liqueur and reduced the butter with good results.

Bananas Foster

SERVES 4

1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
3-4 bananas, peeled and sliced length-wise
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/3 cup dark rum
2 tablespoons banana liqueur
1/2 gallon French vanilla ice cream (good quality)

1. In small pan, mix rum and banana liqueur and gently warm it. Melt butter and sugar in a medium non-stick frying pan.

2. (This can also be done in a chafing dish for table side preparation) add bananas and saute until tender (DO NOT OVERCOOK) about 2-3 minutes.

3. Sprinkle with the cinnamon.

4. Pour the rum/liqueur mixture over the bananas and flame- Serve with the vanilla ice cream.
