Bananas Foster

Description
A dessert that consists of lengthwise-sliced bananas quickly sauteed in a mixture of rum, brown sugar and banana liqueur and served with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

 * 1 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
 * ¼ butter
 * 2 bananas
 * 2 oz banana liqueur
 * 1 oz rum
 * ½ tsp vanilla extract
 * ½ tsp cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
 * 1 oz rum (if it is to be flambéed)
 * vanilla ice cream

Directions

 * 1) Cook the sugar and butter for about 5 minutes.
 * 2) Add bananas, simmer another 2 minutes, add cinnamon, vanilla flavoring, banana liqueur and 1 oz  rum, simmer another 2 minutes.
 * 3) If flambéing, pull the sauté pan back and super heat the front edge of the pan.
 * 4) Add another 1 oz rum with a jigger, (do not pour out of the bottle!!) and light with a long match.
 * 5) Or roll the flame over the edge of the pan if using gas, jiggling the sauté pan will increase the flame.
