Grilled Bananas With Bourbon Caramel Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Sauce:
• Preheat grill to high.
• Place all ingredients, except bourbon, in a small saucepan over high heat on the grill. Bring to boil and reduce by 1/3 until thickened. Remove from heat, add bourbon, and reduce by half. Remove from grill, cool slightly, and pour into a plastic container. As the sauce cools, it will thicken more.
• Bananas:
• Brush bananas with whiskey. Place bananas over medium-low heat on the grill. Generously sprinkle cinnamon over banana. Grill for 2 minutes and remove from the grill to a plate. Pour 1/2 cup of whiskey over bananas. Return bananas to the grill until a little charred. Flip bananas over to char the other side.
• To assemble: Crumble brownies into 2 martini glasses, lay sliced bananas in an ornate fashion around rim of glass, and top with sauce.

Steps:

• Build a charcoal fire or preheat a gas grill.
• Slice the bananas, in their skins, in half crosswise and then lengthwise so each banana yields 4 pieces. Set aside on a clean platter. In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Drizzle the honey on the cut sides of the bananas and sprinkle them with the cinnamon sugar. Let the bananas sit for 5 minutes.
• Place the bananas, cut side down, on the center of grill. Grill for 2 minutes or until grill marks appear. Using a pair of tongs, turn them over and cook for 5 more minutes, or until the skin pulls away from the bananas. Remove the bananas from the grill and serve them immediately, on top of vanilla ice cream and drizzled with bourbon or liqueur, if desired.

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, butter, cream and salt in a medium saucepan. Stirring constantly, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the mixture is smooth and saucy, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Put all dry ingredients in a food processor, including walnuts and pulse until combined. Whisk together the egg yolk and water in a small bowl. Add the butter to the dry ingredients and cut the butter into the mixture by pulsing. Add the yolk and water and pulse until the dough just comes together. Remove dough to a flat surface and gently knead until it comes together into a cohesive mass. Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut the dough into 4-inch circles. Transfer the circles to a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, about 12 to15 minutes. Let cool on a baking rack.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan on top of the grill. Add the sugar, cinnamon and salt and pepper and stir until the sugar is dissolved. Sprinkle fruit with salt and pepper. Grill the fruit on both sides, brushing with the butter mixture, until just cooked through. Remove the fruit to a platter.
• Combine sugar and water. Cook over medium heat until sugar caramelizes to a dark golden brown. Slowly add the butter, then cream and whisk until smooth. Strain the sauce into a bowl and whisk in the rum. Keep warm.
• Arrange grilled fruit on top of the cookies. Drizzle with the sauce and serve with vanilla ice cream or freshly whipped cream.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine rum, honey and cinnamon; set aside. Cut bananas in half lengthwise, leaving the peel on. , Place bananas cut side down on grill. Cover and grill over medium heat for 3 minutes. Turn and brush with honey mixture. Cover and grill until tender, 5-6 minutes. Peel bananas. Serve immediately with ice cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Arrange bananas onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle brown sugar, lemon juice, honey, and orange juice over the bananas; cover with aluminum foil.
• Bake for 5 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Make caramel:.
• Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium-low heat, then add brown sugar and whipping cream
• Simmer over medium heat and stir occasionally (about 8 minutes).
• Sauce is ready when it is golden brown; it will thicken as it cools.
• Cool completely, then pour into a container (I use one of those squeeze bottles to take with our camping stuff).
• It's OK to keep at room temp, but I would put in fridge if you want to keep longer than a couple of days.
• Prepare bananas:.
• Combine sugar and cinnamon.
• Slice each banana in half lengthwise.
• Roll each banana half in cinnamon sugar, until completely coated.
• Grill coated bananas over hot coals (ideally, you will grill them after dinner, when the coals are nicely glowing; we don't want a raging fire here).
• Grill bananas until the sugar begins to carmelize, but be careful; don't let them burn.
• To serve, put two banana halves on a plate, drizzle with caramel sauce and serve with a dollop of crema Mexicana.

Steps:

• Prepare the peaches: Heat a charcoal grill while you bring a saucepan of water to simmer. Score the bottom of each peach with an X, then blanch for about 45 seconds, until skin near the X looks loose. Remove peaches with a slotted spoon and cool in a bowl of ice water. Peel the peaches. Then, with a paring knife, start at the stem of the peach and make a single cut around to the tip. Rotate hands in opposite directions, twist and free flesh from pit.
• Lay the peach halves cut side up and brush lightly with peanut oil; sprinkle with salt. Place the peaches cut side down on grill (you can also use a stovetop grill pan set over medium heat) and cook until there are grill marks, about 2 minutes. Brush with oil and sprinkle with salt. Flip and grill the other side.
• Make the pecans: Toss the first four ingredients in a bowl; spread on a nonstick cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes, or until nicely toasted. Remove and toss with the sugar.
• Make the caramel: Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup in a saucepan and bring to a low boil. Gently swirl the mixture in a circular motion (do not stir) and allow it to boil down until it is a deepamber caramel, at least 10 minutes. Carefully whisk in the cream, protecting your hand from the steam. Immediately whisk in the butter and continue to stir over low heat until mixture is smooth. Stir in salt and bourbon and whisk again. Remove from heat and allow to cool before using.
• Make the whipped cream: Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Stir in powdered sugar and vanilla and whip to stiff peaks. Drizzle in the buttermilk and whip until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• To assemble: Place 2 peach halves in a bowl; scoop ice cream into each pit and add a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle salted bourbon-caramel sauce over the whole shebang.
