Recipes Braaied Bananas

[kevgermany]

Another thread jogged me with this one picked up in my time in South Africa. It's sweet, delicious and horrifically fattening.

Per person - 1-2 bananas, in skins. (Or more, they cook down to nothing).

Plus
Can(s) of condensed milk
Bottle(s) of Van der Hum.

Braai is Afkikaans for barbeque.
Van der Hum is a south african tangerine liquer, worth finding. Can make it yourself, but it takes a while and requires naartjies (tangerines) which have untreated skins.

Put bananas on braai complete in skins and braai until really squidgy.
Once cooked, open the bananas and put cooked fruit into a bowl. Discard the skins.
Add Van der Hum and condensed milk to taste. (lots of both...)

This sounds absolutely delicious.... I need some tangerine liquer as well as some lemon liquer for another cake.

We can make these on your next trip.I'll stick a few bananas in the furnace. It won't take long for them to go really squidgy!

Reminds me- for her 50th, my sister had a BBQ party and ordered 50 bananas for her 50 guests - to BBQ with chocolate buttons in for dessert.
Unfortunately a small error in quantity occurred in the online shopping order!
She had ordered 50 bunches of 5 instead of 50 individual bananas!

Yes! We have no bananas!

One of our favourites. You can do them with cream and rum, or brandy or Amaretto...
