BANANAS FOSTER
4 firm bananas
lemon juice
6 tbsp butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tbsp banana liqueur
3 tbsp rum
whipped cream
ground cinnamon for garnish, optional
Peel bananas and brush with lemon juice. Melt the butter in a skillet. Stir the brown sugar into the butter and cook, stirring until sugar is melted. Add bananas in a single layer. Saute about 3 or 4 minutes; turn once. Pour the liqueur over all. Over low heat, heat rum in a small saucepan until warm. Pour over the bananas and then remove the skillet from the heat.
Carefully ignite the mixture in the skillet using a long stemmed match or fireplace lighter; shake pan back and forth. Spoon the flaming liqueur over the bananas until the flames die out. Serve immediately with the whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Caution: Be care to remove pan from heat before igniting. Always be cautious when working with live fire.
QUICK AND EASY FILLO PEANUT BUTTER CUPS
1 box (15) mini-fillo shells
15 miniature peanut butter cups
1 small can whipped cream
chopped peanuts for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place 15 paper baking cups on the foil putting a fillo cup into each one, if desired. Fillo cups do not have to be put in paper cups. Place a peanut butter cup into each shell. Bake for 5 minutes or until the chocolate softens. With a small spatula, flatten and even out the chocolate in the cup. Let stand at room temperature until cooled. Top each with whipped cream. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
Enjoy!
