Banana Foster

From:  Christine Nelson


Very, very yummy!!!

1/2 c. butter
1 c. brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 c. orange juice
3 large firm bananas

1. Melt the butter at medium low heat in a large frying pan. 
2. Stir in the brown sugar until it has fully absorbed the moisture of the butter. It will become clumpy. 
3. Add the vanilla and orange juice and stir until it is velvety and bubbly. If the mixture is not smooth enough, add a little bitof orange juice until it is.
4. Slice bananas, about 1/4 inch slices. Add bananas to mixture, stir to coat and remove from heat. If you like the bananas slightly cooked, let sit for a few minutes.

Serve over scoops of vanilla ice cream.
