How to Make Appealing Bananas Calypso

1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg.
2. Brush 4 ripe bananas with about 1/4 cup of the butter mixture, reserving the rest.
3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the cooking grate.
4. Place bananas on the hot grate and grill for 2-4 minutes per side, turning once, until grill marks appear and bananas are slightly softened.
5. Slice the grilled bananas and arrange them in a flameproof dish.
6. Pour the remaining 1/2 cup of the butter mixture over the sliced bananas.
7. Place the dish on the center of the preheated grill grate.
8. Grill for 5 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly caramelized.

10. QUICKLY and CAREFULLY pour 1-2 tablespoons of dark rum over the bananas (be cautious of flames).
11. Use a long match or lighter to ignite the rum. Allow the flames to die down completely.
12. Serve immediately over your favorite ice cream (vanilla bean is highly recommended!). Enjoy!
