4 firm, small bananas peeled
1/2 c. brown sugar, packed
1/4 c. butter
Dash of cinnamon
1/3 c. light rum
Vanilla or coffee ice cream

Cut bananas in half lengthwise. Heat brown sugar and butter together in a 10 inch skillet until sugar is melted. Cook and stir 2 minutes until slightly thickened. Add bananas and cook slowly a minute or two until heated and glazed. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Add rum. Ignite. Spoon liquid over bananas until flames die out, about 1 minute. Serve warm over ice cream. Makes 4 servings.

For something different try strawberries.

Rum is optional (you will not have the flaming effect.)
