Baked Bananas in Lemon Rum Sauce - Jacques Pepin

 

Recipe By : Jacques Pepin - Today's Gourmet

Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Desserts Fruits

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 bananas (very ripe-black spotted skin) -- about

2 lbs

**Lemon Rum Sauce**

1 tablespoon grated lemon rind

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

3 tablespoons orange marmalade

1/4 cup water

2 tablespoons dark rum

mint leaves -- for garnish

strips of orange peel -- for garnish

 

Preheat oven to 400F.

 

Trim the ends of bananas, removing about 1/2 inch from each end, and cut

a slit through the skin extending the length of the fruit. Arrange the

unpeeled bananas on a cookie sheet and place in the preheated oven for

15 minutes. (The skin will turn black.)

 

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, mix together the lemon rind, lemon juice,

sugar, marmalade, and water, and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for

one minute, then transfer to a serving dish.

 

As soon as the bananas are cool enough to handle, remove the skin and

place them in the sauce. Using a spoon, coat the bananas on all sides

with the sauce.

 

When cool, stir in the rum and decorate the bananas with mint leaves and

orange peel. Serve.
