Bananas Foster

Slice the bananas in half lengthwise and brush with the lemon juice. Melt the butter with the sugar in a flat chafing dish or 10-inch skillet.

Add the bananas and sauté until just tender.

Sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Remove from the heat and add liqueur and rum. Carefully ignite with a long match. Use a large long-handled spoon to baste the bananas with the warm liquid until the flame burns out.

Divide the ice cream among four dishes. Top each one with a banana half and some of the sauce.

Serve immediately.
