Category: Berry & Fruit Desserts

Makes 6 servings.

2 T. unsalted butter
1/4 c. dark brown sugar
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 T. banana liqueur
2 under-ripe bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
1/4 c. dark rum
1/2 tsp. finely grated orange zest

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; transfer to serving dish.
Bring sauce to a simmer and carefully add 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.
If sauce is too thin, cook until syrupy in consistency.
Add orange zest and stir to combine.
Immediately spoon the sauce over bananas and serve.
Serve with waffles, crepes or ice cream.
