Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel 4 not-too-ripe bananas; cut them in half lengthwise. Butter a shallow baking dish and lay the banana halves in it side by side.

Mix well the juice of 1/2 orange, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture over bananas; dot generously with 1 1/2 tablespoons butter. Bake for 1 hour.

Wonderful over vanilla ice cream or try as a garnish for ham or pork.
