BANANA SPLITS WITH PINEAPPLE BROWN SUGAR TOPPING

Steps:

• Combine the pineapple with juice, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon in a medium saucepan. Cook over a medium heat, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the sugar is dissolved and the juice is reduced somewhat, about 3 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
• Cut the bananas in half crosswise. Cut each banana half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Split the banana halves open and place each one on a small dessert plate. Top each banana with a scoop of ice cream then about 2 1/2 tablespoons of the warm pineapple mixture. Top each with a mint leaf, if using, and serve.

BANANA SPLIT TOPPING RECIPES

Steps:

• In a small sauce pan add the crushed pineapple (including the juices), sugar, and cornstarch. Heat it over medium heat until it starts to get bubbly and thicken, stirring frequently. Cook for 2 more minutes, continuing to stir, then remove from heat.
• Pour into glass mason jars, cover and let cool for at least 1 hour.
• Combine the strawberries and sugar in a medium sized saucepan over medium heat. Stir, and use a potato masher to break down strawberries to your desired consistency.
• Add the cornstarch and continue stirring frequently until the mixture bubbles and thickens. Continue cooking for 2 minutes, then remove from heat and pour into mason jars. Cover and let cool for at least 1 hour.
• In a small but heavy saucepan melt the chocolate and butter. Add the sugar, and gradually stir in the evaporated milk. Bring the chocolate mixture to a boil, then reduce heat. Boil gently over low heat for 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove the pan from heat, cool slightly. Serve warm.

TRADITIONAL BANANA SPLIT

Steps:

• Line up ice cream scoops next to each other in an oval deep dish or a banana boat.
• Cut the ends of the banana off (about 1/4 inch) while still in the peel.
• Slice in half longways.
• Pop each half of the banana out of the peel onto each side of the ice cream row, pressing down and in a little so it'll stay put.
• Top the vanilla ice cream with the pineapple, the chocolate with the chocolate syrup and the strawberry with the strawberry sauce.
• Spoon the wet walnuts over all three scoops of ice cream.
• Top each scoop with some whipped cream and a cherry for each.
• Enjoy!
