Bananas Caribe
4 small ripe bananas 1/3 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup orange juice 1/4 cup light or dark rum 2 Tablespoons butter 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice (optional) 1/4 cup raisins 4 cups reduced-fat vanilla frozen yogurt
Peel the bananas and cut them in half. Slice each half lengthwise. (You will have 16 pieces.) Set aside.
Measure out the brown sugar, orange juice and rum. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a 12-inch non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the brown sugar, orange juice and allspice (if using) and stir well to mix. Add the bananas and raisins, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, or until the sauce begins to thicken.
Romove the skillet from the heat. (It is very important to remove the skillet from the heat prior to the next step.)
Pour the rum evenly over the mixture. Ignite the pan using a long match or a lighted banboo skewer. (Do NOT use a regular match.) When the flames disappear, serve at once over frozen yogurt.
Makes 8 servings.
