JAMAICAN RUMMED BAKED BANANAS
If you want a real Jamaica treat, there is nothing that beats rummed bananas. My friend Virginia Burke introduced them to me in the hills above Ocho Rios. She baked them on a traditional jerk pit. The taste of this dish will always bring back the memories of that afternoon in March and our friendship and laughter. Kevin Brauch, The Thirsty Traveler

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to broil.
- Pour the sugar in a shallow bowl and dip the orange slices and pineapple wedges, coating one side of each with the sugar. Transfer the fruit to a sheet tray, sugared-side up, and place under the broiler to caramelize, about 5 minutes.
- Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and pour in the orange juice, pineapple juice and rum. Cover and shake. Strain into an ice-filled hurricane glass. Garnish with a caramelized orange slice, pineapple wedge, cinnamon stick and umbrella. Reserve the remaining fruit for snacking or more drinks.
JAMAICAN BLACK CAKE
Steps:
- Add the dates, figs, 1 cup of the port, 1 cup of the rum, the almonds, brandied cherries with their liquid, currants, candied orange peel, prunes and dark and golden raisins to a food processor. Process this mixture until the dried fruit is broken down into smaller chunks. Stir in the orange juice. Allow it to soak in the rum for at least 2 hours 30 minutes, but preferably for 2 to 3 days.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease 2 cake pans and line them with brown or wax paper.
- In a stand mixer, combine the butter, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, allspice, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, molasses, browning and eggs. Slowly add the rum-soaked fruit to the mixer a little at a time and mix to combine all of the ingredients.
- Divide the cake batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake the cakes in a water bath by filling a large roasting pan halfway up with water and then setting the cake pans inside. Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle the remaining port and rum on top of the cakes and let them cool. These cakes will last for days stored in parchment paper and plastic wrap and for weeks when frozen.
COLLARD GREENS WITH HAM HOCKS
A true Southern delicacy, it's hard to even find collards with ham hocks served in other parts of the country. But once you've had them, they're sure to be a staple at all your cookouts. Be sure to save the pot liquor (the broth leftover after boiling the greens) as a stock for soups and stews!
