1/2 c. fresh orange juice
1/2 c. white wine
1/4 c. honey
1 1/2 tsp. grated orange rind
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
6 medium bananas
1/4 c. finely chopped almonds (optional)
2 tbsp. butter (optional)

In a small saucepan, combine juice, wine, honey, orange rind, cinnamon and nutmeg. Heat until warm. Peel bananas and split them in half lengthwise. Place bananas, cut side down, in a greased baking dish large enough to accommodate the bananas without crowding them. Pour sauce over bananas. Sprinkle with almonds and dot with butter, if desired.

Bake in a 350°F oven for a total of 25 minutes, basting bananas with sauce after the first 15 minutes of baking.
