Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bananas

    Peel the bananas and slice them diagonally into 1/2 inch thick pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Bananas

    In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the brown sugar and cinnamon, stirring until dissolved. Add the sliced bananas and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they are caramelized, gently stirring to coat.

  3. 3

    Flame the Rum

    Carefully add the dark rum to the skillet. Allow it to ignite using a long lighter or match, and let it burn for a few seconds to cook off some of the alcohol. Ensure to stand back while the rum is igniting.

    Serve
