With summer just around the corner, I felt this would be an appropriate dessert recipe to share with everyone. It also has a nice tropical flavor you'll just savor. It's short, easy to put together and pretty impressive to serve to dinner guests.Ingredients;
1/4 c. orange juice concentrate
1 1/2 T. lemon juice
2 T. butter
1/3 c. brown sugar, packed
2 bananas, peeled and sliced diagonally (once the bananas are sliced sprinkle with lemon juice to keep them from browning)
1/4 c. of rum
1 qt. vanilla ice cream
In a large skillet, heat orange juice, lemon juice, butter and sugar until bubbling. Add the bananas. In another sauce pan, warm the rum, then remove from heat. Very carefully, ignite with a long kitchen match. Remove bananas and sauce from heat and pour the rum over it while still in the pan. pour the banana mixture over each bowl of ice cream and serve.

That sounds really good. Is that what a bananna flower looks like? That is really cool. I don't know if I have ever seen one.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Hello Cielo,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind comment and ditto to you too! I'm happy you like my blog. Unfortunately I don't speak spanish, but I do speak Italian.
I have a wonderful dessert recipe planned for the dessert carnival and I'm looking forward to sharing it with everyone. I'm also looking forward to reading everyone elses recipes. I'll get my photo out to you this weekend. It 's also very nice to meet you too. If you don't mind I would love to place your beautiful bog on " my favorite blogs list". Have a great day!
Hello Oswegan, Yes this is what a banana tree looks like. They're so pretty and exotic. We have a conservatory in our city and I love visiting it often. There is a huge banana tree in there and it's just the prettiest thing to look at when in bloom and growing bananas. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHello Eva,
ReplyDeleteThe flames will give any guest a bit of entertainment, as long as you practice this method with caution. It is delicious over ice dream. I can never resist this dessert. I always make room for it, though I substitute ice cream for soy ice cream when I'm going to enjoy some. Have a nice evening!
Hello Lydia Wow you know I never really seen bananas like that before very beautiful to look at. I liked the avacados too! Have a great time at the carnival.
ReplyDeleteThis recipe sounds gorgeous! I'm afraid of lighting matches though. I'll have to get my husband to do that part. It must be a neat party trick. I've always liked bananas. I did not know they had flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a keeper, for sure!

Hello Jamerson, I know the banana trees are so pretty. I thought it would be interesting for people to see how bananas grow on trees. Thanks,I will have fun. I'll be posting a tropical papaya dessert on my blog for the carnival on the 30th of April. Make sure to try to come and take a peek. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteHello Kat, If your hubby is more daring, then that's a great idea. I'm sure you'll love this dessert. The flowers on banana trees are huge too. They're a pretty deep purple in color. Have a wonderful weekend!
