Time 12m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon banana liqueur
2 under ripe bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 cup dark rum

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a 10-inch heavy skillet over low heat.
  • Add brown sugar, allspice and nutmeg and stir until sugar dissolves.
  • Add banana liqueur and bring sauce to simmer.
  • Add bananas and cook for 1 minute on each side, carefully spooning sauce over bananas as they are cooking.
  • Remove bananas from pan to a serving dish.
  • Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add the rum.
  • If the sauce is very hot, the alcohol will flame on its own.
  • If not, using stick flame, carefully ignite and continue cooking until flame dies out, approximately 1 to 2 minutes.
  • If sauce is too thin, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is syrupy in consistency.
  • Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve.
  • Serve with waffles, crepes, or ice cream.

This recipe was a complete disaster. The bananas were burnt and the sauce was watery. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The sauce was too thin. I would recommend adding a cornstarch slurry to thicken it.

The bananas were not caramelized enough. I would recommend cooking them for a few minutes longer.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for me. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I found that the recipe made a lot of sauce. I would recommend halving the recipe if you're only serving a few people.

The bananas were a bit too caramelized for my taste, but the sauce was delicious.

I used brown sugar instead of white sugar and it added a nice depth of flavor.

This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but it's worth it for the amazing flavor. I highly recommend it!

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The bananas, butter, sugar, and cinnamon are all perfectly balanced.

This recipe was a hit! The bananas were caramelized to perfection and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I served it over ice cream and it was absolutely delicious.
