Recipe Reviews

This was only OK. It was interesting to prepare - bananas (in their skin) are grilled till goopy. Then they are squeezed over vanilla ice cream, and raisins, rum and butter added.

None of us liked the butter (but for us it didn't melt). The banana/rum combination, though, is a classic, and I found it interesting prepared this way, and paired with ice cream. I had to use white rum - no dark in the house - but it would have been much better with dark (e.g. blackstrap rum).

I had a bit of trouble grilling the bananas - I think they would have benefit from longer cooking time (they would have gotten goopier), but the skin split, and they were leaking. It took about 7 minutes to get them to this point, and they were definitely very soft. But they smelled heavenly!

This is NOT a kid-friendly dish. Tried to serve it, no love from the young'uns.
