How to Make Bananas With Rum
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 cup dark rum. Simmer over medium heat for 10 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, peel 4 ripe bananas and slice them lengthwise in half.
- Lightly butter a small (8x8 inch) baking dish. Arrange the banana halves cut-side down in the dish.
- Pour the hot rum sauce evenly over the bananas.
- Bake for 30 minutes at 400°F (200°C), turning the bananas once halfway through, until they are tender and caramelized.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
