Decadent Desserts -- Raspberries Isildur
Don't expect measurements. They all are "to taste" or "until it looks right".

Every enjoy the pleasure of Bananas Foster? If you haven't, its bananas cooked in liquors with carmelized brown sugar, butter, and cinamon, served over rich vanilla ice cream. With that in mind, the origin of this recipe should be obvious. Bananas Foster is the perfect dessert, except for the bananas and the ice cream.

Ingredients:
Fresh raspberries. 1 cup will make about 2 servings depending on how decadent you are. So buy a lot.
Cinamon
Brown Sugar
Rum
Raspberry liquor. I recommend chambord, but feel free to use cheaper substitutes like Raspberry Pucker.
Butter or Margarine
Chocolate Ice Cream.

Directions:
I recommend heating on an outside burner. You'll see why

In a stainless steel pan, melt a lot of butter.
Add brown sugar and cinamon until it smells overly rich.
Carmelize the mix cooking over low heat.
Pour in enough rum and raspberry liquor to have a layer coating the stuff in the pan.

Now we want to cook the raspberries just long enough to heat them & coat them with the good stuff. Do not over cook them, or they will break down.

Put the raspberries in the pan. Tilt the pan carefully to the side so the flame from the burner lights the rum. Keep stirring the raspberries to coat them with the carmelized mixture.

Wait for the fire to go out.

Serve immediately over rich chocolate ice cream.

Sit back, and feel your arteries harden.

BBQ Bananas Forester

enough bananas for 1 per person UNPEELED!!
Cinamon
Brown sugar
Butter
Nuts such as slivered almonds, pecand, walnuts ets.
Aluminum foil

Slice through banan skin lengthways, but not through banana, just one long slit, sort of like a baked potato

In this slit tuck in butter pats, sprinkle with sugar and cinamon, stud the banan with several nuts and wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Place over low heat on the BBQ (can also bake in preheated oven at 350 for 15 minutes) for about 20 minutes, and serve with ice cream if you like, or just peel back aluminum foil and eat it with a fork.

Special note about using bananas for cooking:

the darker the skin the sweeter the banana, depending on the ripeness of your banana you may add more or less sugar to taste.

I don't have an actual recipe, but I am sure it wouldn't be too hard to come by.

Warm, straight from the oven, Gingerbread cake topped with warm lemon pudding.

My mother used to make this on a cold winter evening, we loved it.

Cindy, can you ask your mom for the recipe? That sounds really good. I'd like to make it for Don sometime.

There ya go, Speaker. It took me a while. My Mom has been gone for over 20 years. If I remember correctly, sometimes she used the store bought lemon pudding mix you use for lemon merigue pie.
