Bananas Foster

Favorite vanilla ice cream
Melt the butter in a large skillet over high heat. Whisk in the brown sugar. Add the bananas and sauté for 2 minutes. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the bananas. Pour the banana liqueur and rum over the bananas and ignite with a match. Baste the bananas with the flaming liquid. When the flame dies, serve immediately over vanilla ice cream.
Our comments: Nothing fires up a party like big fire in the kitchen after a good meal! In fact, the right fireworks can make them forgive and forget a bad meal. Both flavor and visual impact are reliable with this recipe. Warning: this recipe makes BIG FIRE, so be ready! We set off the fire alarm twice and brought the Sea Island Fire Department once.
