Bananas Foster

1 stick of butter

¾ c brown sugar

3 ripe bananas

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1 tsp rum extract

¼ tsp kosher salt

¼ c chopped toasted pecans (optional)

In a pan melt the butter and add brown sugar. Cook on med low heat until melted and well combined. Be careful not to burn the sugar. Add vanilla and rum extract to the pan and stir well. Reduce heat to low. Slice the bananas and add to sugar mixture. Fold in bananas until they are warmed through. Toast pecans for about 30 seconds in a hot pan. Add to sauce. Sauce will thicken as it cools.

● This sauce can be served over pancakes, French toast, waffles, or ice cream. I also top the finished dish with whipped cream.
