Recipe: Bananas Foster

Bananas Foster

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/4 cup 151 rum
1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup water
3 bananas, quartered
6 scoops (1/2-cup each) vanilla ice cream

Put butter, light brown sugar, and dark brown sugar in a pan. Melt until everything is dissolved and almost like a paste. Flame with the rum and add the banana liqueur. Add cinnamon and water and cook until it becomes a semi-thick sauce. Cook the bananas in the sauce until almost soft. For each serving, in a deep dish, use 1 scoop vanilla ice cream, top with pieces of banana, and serve hot.
