SO YUMMY GRILLED BANANAS WITH CARAMEL SAUCE AND CREMA MEXICANA
I found this in the LA Times Food Section years ago, and adapted it for a crowd. We make these when we go camping and we're sick of S'mores. We just bring a bunch of bananas and the components we prepared ahead of time and make them until we can't eat any more. Don't be tempted to use store bought caramel; home made sauce really makes a diference, and it's quick and easy to make. IMPORTANT: When you go to the store, you DO NOT want the Crema Agria - that's like sour cream. Crema Mexicana is like Creme Fraiche and tastes sweet, like heavy whipping cream.

Steps:
- Make caramel:.
- Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat, then add brown sugar and whipping cream
- Simmer over medium heat and stir occasionally (about 8 minutes).
- Sauce is ready when it is golden brown; it will thicken as it cools.
- Cool completely, then pour into a container (I use one of those squeeze bottles to take with our camping stuff).
- It's OK to keep at room temp, but I would put in fridge if you want to keep longer than a couple of days.
- Prepare bananas:.
- Combine sugar and cinnamon.
- Slice each banana in half lengthwise.
- Roll each banana half in cinnamon sugar, until completely coated.
- Grill coated bananas over hot coals (ideally, you will grill them after dinner, when the coals are nicely glowing; we don't want a raging fire here).
- Grill bananas until the sugar begins to carmelize, but be careful; don't let them burn.
- To serve, put two banana halves on a plate, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with a dollop of crema Mexicana.
