Number Of Ingredients 5

2 - 3 Tbsp butter
2/3 c sugar
6 ripe bananas, peeled

  • 2. Halve, then slice bananas lengthwise and add to butter-sugar mixture; turn to coat all sides. Pour in rum, keeping on medium heat.
  • 3. Pour a little rum into a teaspoon, hold it over the flame of chafing dish, gas range, or other fire source until it flames. Use the flaming rum to light rum in skillet. Spoon flaming sauce over bananas several times. When flames die down, serve with vanilla (or other) ice cream.

This was a complete disaster. The bananas burned and the rum sauce was too strong.

The bananas didn't caramelize as much as I would have liked, but they still tasted good.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think I just need to adjust the amount of sugar next time.

I was skeptical about the rum sauce, but it was actually really good. I'll definitely be making this again.
