SOUTHERN ACCENT BANANAS FOSTER Serves 4

  • ¼ cup (½ stick) butter
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 4 bananas
  • ¼ cup dark rum
  • 4 scoops vanilla ice cream

Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the cinnamon, then place the bananas in the pan. When the bananas soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum. When the flames subside, let the sauce thicken. Lift the bananas out of the pan and place one next to each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and banana, serve immediately.
