BAKED BANANAS NEW ORLEANS 
2 bananas, peeled
1 tsp. Butter Buds
3 tbsp. apple juice concentrate
1/2 c. orange juice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg or mace
3 tbsp. Grand Marnier or other orange liqueur (optional)
3 tbsp. rum (dark preferred)

Place bananas in small baking dish (cut in half, if desired). Dot with Butter Buds and sprinkle with apple juice concentrate, cinnamon and nutmeg or mace. Pour orange juice over all. Bake lightly covered 15 minutes at 375 degrees or microwave approximately 4 minutes.

To serve, place bananas in dessert dishes. In medium ladle or dish, pour the liqueur and rum. Heat slowly over flame (while stove burner will do, a candle is more dramatic). Tip ladle slightly into fire or light with a match. Pour flaming liquid over the individual dishes. Serves 2.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
