How to Make Red Bananas

  1. In a medium skillet over medium heat, reduce 1 cup of your favorite berry preserves (strawberry, raspberry, or a mix) to a liquid consistency. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add 2 tablespoons of brandy (optional) and 1 tablespoon of honey, stirring constantly to combine with the reduced preserves.
  3. Add 1 cup of segmented blood oranges and 1/2 cup of sliced strawberries. Cook gently, stirring occasionally, until heated through (about 3-5 minutes).
  4. Add 2 ripe bananas, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Gently toss to coat the bananas with the sauce and heat through (about 2-3 minutes). Be careful not to overcook the bananas.
  5. Serve immediately over 2 scoops of your favorite vanilla ice cream. Garnish with fresh mint or a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.
