How to Make Banana For Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Cut the ends off 4 ripe bananas and carefully slit the peel lengthwise from end to end.
  3. Place the bananas on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until softened and slightly caramelized.
  5. While the bananas bake, prepare the sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 2 tablespoons orange marmalade.
  6. Cook over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the sauce slightly thickens.
  7. Once the bananas are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  8. Place the skinned bananas on a serving plate and spoon the citrus sauce evenly over them.
  9. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon of rum (optional) and sprinkle with a little orange zest.
