Ingredients:  
4 Firm Ripe Bananas, sliced in half lengthwise
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons lemon juice, about one lemon

Directions:
Directions:
Melt butter in a heavy skillet; add the brown sugar and spices, stirring until the sugar is completely melted. Add the ripe bananas and cook until they are hot and well coated with syrup, but not mushy.

Carefully pour in the banana liqueur and rum. If the butter is very hot, the bananas will flame on their own. Or, you can cook over medium heat, stirring until the alcohol cooks out. Or, with a long match, carefully flame the liqueur and brandy in the pan and cook until the flames dies out and the alcohol is cooked out.

Add the juice from the lemon and stir to blend.

Serve the bananas and sauce warm over vanilla ice cream.
