Time 10m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 ripe bananas (2 1/4 pounds, about 6 ounces each)
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup dark brown sugar (see note)
1 to 2 tablespoons dark rum (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Peel the bananas and arrange them in one layer in a gratin dish. Pour the lemon juice over them, then roll them in the juice to prevent them from discoloring. Sprinkle them with brown sugar.
  • Place the bananas under the broiler, about 4 inches from the heat, and broil them until they are brown on top, about 4 minutes. Turn the bananas over and place them again under the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until brown on top. They should be soft at this point when pierced with a fork.
  • Cool the bananas until they are lukewarm, sprinkle them with the rum, if desired, and serve immediately.
