Bananas Foster

by // // No Comments

The secret to success is to have all your ingredients and equipment on hand and measured before you start.  It all goes together rather quickly.  You could also use peaches, apples or pineapple.  But then you could not call it Bananas Foster could you?

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 stick butter – salted
  • 1 c  dark brown sugar – packed
  • 3/4 c spiced rum
  • 5 whole bananas, sliced into thick slices
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions:

  1. Heat 1/4 c rum in a small sauce pan for flaming.
  2. In a heavy skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat.
  3. Add brown sugar and stir together.
  4. Add remaining 1/2 c of rum – room temperature and then stir in the bananas and spices
  5. Mixture should be bubbly. (The steps so far should take less than 2 minutes; this is quick!)
  6. Remove rum from stove and light it with a barbecue lighter
  7. Pour rum rum over bananas and let the flames die down *Be careful with the open flame*
  8. Stir to combine
  9. Serve sauce immediately over vanilla ice cream or French toast. (Sauce does keep in the fridge, though. If there is any left!)
Serves: 6
