Irish Bananas

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup Irish whiskey
• 4 large ripe bananas, peeled and halved lengthwise
• Vanilla ice cream
• Cinnamon

Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and gently simmer until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in whiskey to make a syrup.

Place back on heat, add bananas and coat with syrup mixture. Gently simmer for 5 minutes more to warm the bananas and cook out the alcohol taste.

To serve, pour banana mixture over vanilla ice cream and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Serves 4.
