I Prefer My Fruit Topped with Booze

I've shared my love of baking.  I've bragged about my zebra shoes.  Now what about the booze?



I love Captain Morgan Spiced Rum.  I love it in coke, I love it in ginger ale, I love it in hot cider, I love it in french toast (thats a recipe for another day!). I love it.

Side Note: my love of Captain Morgan ≠ a drinking problem. :)
A few rainy days ago, I was lounging on the couch reading, when my mind drifted to food (shocker).  My bank account is looking a little sad from the past two semesters of school, so I decided to create something with what I could find in the kitchen.  I don’t typically make up my own recipes, so I made something simple and it turned out to be a keeper!
How do you make drunk bananas?  Like this!:

4 tsp Captain Morgan Spiced Rum (or any spiced rum… I guess)
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 banana sliced lengthwise
Combine the spiced rum, nutmeg, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl.  Pour over the banana.  Broil for 3-5 minutes (until a little bubbly).  
My grandmother’s wonderful suggestion:
Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Make a little (or a lot) extra sauce to pour over the ice cream.

I would have taken a prettier picture…. But I ate them instead.
