- 1 cup Packed Dark Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup (to 3/4 Cup) Heavy Cream
- 1/2 cup Dark Rum
- 2 whole Bananas, Sliced Diagonally Into Thick Slices
- 1/2 cup Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans
- Dash Of Cinnamon
Instructions
- In a heavy skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add brown sugar and stir together. Add cream and continue cooking, then stir in bananas and chopped walnuts. Mixture should be bubbly. (The steps so far should take less than 2 minutes; this is quick!)

You can shake the pan a bit to get it to calm down. Remove from heat and stir in cinnamon.
- Serve sauce immediately over vanilla ice cream or French toast. (Sauce does keep in the fridge, though. Delicious!)
