Boozy Butterscotch Bananas Recipe from Fruit on the Table Cookbook

This Butterscotch Bananas Recipe is our version of Bananas Foster, minus the flambé. We saw it being made on television and immediately had to try it. We’ve tweaked the recipe, and it’s now my daughter Athene’s favourite dessert (minus the alcohol). You don’t have to use bananas; in fact, Athene prefers it with pears. You can use any reasonably solid sweet fruit like apples, peaches or pears – just peel the fruit before cooking. It’s a simple, fast and delicious recipe. Caramelly, butterscotchy bananas with booze. Yum!

Serves 2

Ingredients:

– 110 g (4 oz) butter
– 90 g (3 oz) brown sugar
– 4 bananas (peeled and sliced lengthwise in half)
– 1 tbsp whiskey, brandy or rum

Method:

1. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sugar melts. It will be all bubbly and golden. Watch out: it’s crazy hot.
2. Add the banana to the butterscotch and cook until the bananas are warmed through and start to soften.
3. Pour in the booze, stir through and cook for about 30 seconds.
4. Remove from the heat and serve immediately – the butterscotch can start to split as soon as it comes off the heat. Eat it with vanilla ice cream.
