Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
  • 4 firm bananas
  • 1/3 cup rum, brandy or orange-flavored liquer (Frangelica is good, too)
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream

Directions

Heat brown sugar, margarine, and cinnamon in chafing dish or attractive skillet until sugar and butter are melted. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Cut bananas into 12 inch slices; add to syrup and heat through, carefully turning slices to coat.

Heat rum in small long-handled pan just until warm; ignite with a long handled match and pour flaming over bananas. Stir; spoon over each serving of ice cream.
