I lose interest with recipes that take a long time to prepare & cook. I try new recipes or new versions of old favourites. All of my 'Just' series of blogs have recipes which I have tried and tested. I like quick, easy to cook tasty recipes. ENJOY!

Caramelised Bananas & Fresh Pineapple Flambeed in Brandy
Peel & slice 2 bananas lengthwise & cut 2 rings of
fresh pineapple into cubes half width of bananas. Heat a wide
frying pan on medium heat & use enough oil just to coat the bottom then
melt 30g butter into it. When it starts
to bubble place the bananas in cut side down to the outside of the pan &
the pineapple slices in the middle where there will be most heat. Sprinkle 2tbsp sugar over the fruit, continue
frying turning pineapple frequently, the bananas less so until the sugar starts
to caramelise & the bananas turn golden on both sides (the pineapple will
have a little ‘bite’ & not be soft like the
bananas). Pour in 3 tbsp brandy &
after 30 seconds add 2 tbsp double cream, the juice of half a lime & a
touch of cinnamon. Serve with a dollop
of crème fraiche & chopped nuts sprinkled over.
