GRILLED BANANAS

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Slice the bananas, in their skins, in half crosswise and then lengthwise so each banana yields 4 pieces. Set aside on a clean platter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the honey on the cut sides of the bananas and sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar. Let the bananas sit for 5 minutes.
• Place the bananas, cut side down, on the center of grill. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Using a pair of tongs, turn them over and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the skin pulls away from the bananas. Remove the bananas from the grill and serve them immediately, on top of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with bourbon or liqueur, if desired.

GRILLED BANANAS WITH RUM SAUCE

Steps:

• Peel the bananas and cut in half lengthwise. Melt a bit of butter in a frying pan.
• Cook bananas over direct high heat 4-6 minutes, turning once.
• Melt the remaining butter in a heavy sauce pan over medium heat. Add the brown sugar, the cinnamon, and nutmeg, and cook until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly. Add rum and gently move the pan around to warm the rum, causing it to flame. Continue cooking until the flame dies out. Add the grilled bananas to the hot rum mixture and cook 3-4 minutes more.
• To serve, place a large scoop of vanilla ice cream onto each of 6 serving dishes. Place 2 banana halves over the ice cream and drizzle with some of the sauce.

Place the bananas on the grill, skin side down, and cook until the sugar caramelizes and the skin falls away from the banana.

• Add vanilla sugar, water, cinnamon, and allspice to a large saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. The mixture will start looking dark and thick.
• Quickly stir in the walnuts to the simmering syrup. Cook in the syrup while stirring until it begins to bubble and thicken. Spread the candy in a single layer to the prepared sheet tray- breaking up large clusters with a wooden spoon. Let cool completely, about 5-10 minutes until the candied harden and the syrup dries. Break apart and enjoy.
