Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 bananas, peeled and sliced into 1-inch pieces
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons white rum
1/4 cup orange juice (preferably freshly squeezed from 1 orange)
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
2 pints vanilla ice cream
Mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bananas in the butter, cut side down. Pour the sugar around the bananas and let it cook until it starts to caramelize, moving the bananas around a bit to ensure even browning.
Remove the skillet from heat; add in the rum, and orange juice. Return the skillet to heat and let reduce for a minute. Turn the bananas and let the juices reduce for another minute.
Remove the skillet from heat and swirl in the remaining tablespoon of butter.
Serve the bananas in shallow bowls drizzled with the caramel pan sauce. Top with orange segments and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Garnish with a sprig of mint.

Time 25m

Yield 2 , 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup orange juice (I used freshly squeezed)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, I did use freshly squeezed)
2 slightly under-ripe baby bananas (NOTE poster used red bananas which are about 4 inches long)

Steps:

Heat orange juice, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a skillet for about 15 minutes on low (there should be small bubbles breaking the surface, but not quite a simmer). The orange juice will reduce and thicken into a syrup.
Peel bananas and add to syrup. Cook for a few minutes per side, making sure to warm through.
Serve immediately with ice cream, pound cake, or plain. Both would be all the better!
