Ingredients

    1. 1/2 cup orange juice ( I used freshly squeezed)
    2. 1/2 cup brown sugar
    3. 1 tablespoon lemon juice ( optional, I did use freshly squeezed)
    4. 2 slightly under-ripe baby bananas ( NOTE poster used red bananas which are about 4 inches long)

Directions

  1. Heat orange juice, brown sugar, and lemon juice in a skillet for about 15 minutes on low (there should be small bubbles breaking the surface, but not quite a simmer). The orange juice will reduce and thicken into a syrup.
  2. Peel bananas and add to syrup. Cook for a few minutes per side, making sure to warm through.
  3. Serve immediately with ice cream, pound cake, or plain. Both would be all the better!
