   2      tb            Butter
   2      lg            Ripe bananas
     1/2  c             Sugar
   1      oz            Lemon juice
   1      oz            Orange juice
   2      oz            Grand Marnier
                        Vanilla ice cream or
                        - your favorite

In a saute pan, melt the butter and sugar together, being careful not
to burn the sugar. Let it get to a light brown color. When the sugar
has browned, add the juices and let simmer on a high heat until the
mixture has reduced to thin syrup. Peel and half the bananas and
saute them in the syrup. When the bananas start to get soft, raise
the heat and add the Grand Marnier and ignite the alcohol and serve
over the ice cream.

Warning:

When preparing this exquisite dessert, use extreme caution! When
igniting the alcohol and also use caution! When adding the
Grand Marnier to the hot pan, also use caution!

Note:

Always remove the pan from a flame or heat when adding alcohol!
