"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Directions:
Melt butter in large non-corrosive skillet over medium heat. When foam subsides, stir in orange juice, lemon juice and brown sugar. Heat to simmering. Simmer until mixture bubbles and coats a metal spoon, about 3 minutes. Add banana liqueur and ignite carefully with a long kitchen match or lighter. When flames are extinguished, add brandy and carefully flame again. When flames are extinguished, add bananas, toss to coat with the sauce. Spoon bananas and sauce over ice cream. Serve immediately.

Tip: A pinch of ground cinnamon over the skillet when flaming the alcohols cause eye-catching sparks.

Personal Notes:
So delicious it's swoon-worthy! Bryan and Janelle actually introduced me to Bananas Foster. I used to make it tableside in an electric skillet to impress my guests with the flaming and cinnamon sparkles! It was great to watch their reactions! Don't worry - the alcohol burns out, leaving only great flavor!
