Preparation

Step 1

1 Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 2 Peel the bananas, split them in half lengthwise, then place them in a buttered baking dish (10"x6"x2"). 3 Combine the sugar, orange juice, nutmeg, cinnamon and sherry in a saucepan. Heat until sugar is dissolved, then pour over the bananas. Dot with butter. 4 Bake bananas for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the bananas are tender. Baste them once or twice during baking. 5 Remove from oven. Sprinkle with the rum before serving. 6 Serve as-is, or with a scoop of vanilla or coconut ice cream.
