Owner of the world famous New Orleans restaurant Brennan's, Owen Edward Brennan challenged his talented chef, Paul Blangé, to include bananas as a way of promoting the imported fruit. In 1951, Chef Paul, created Bananas Foster. The scrumptious dessert was named for Richard Foster, who, as chairman, served with Mr. Brennan on the New Orleans Crime Commission, a civic effort to clean up the French Quarter. Mr. Foster was a frequent customer of the restaurant and a very good friend of Owen Brennan. Brennan's Bananas Foster
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup banana liqueur
- 4 firm bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- Combine the butter, sugar and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet. Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
- Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan. When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum. Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum.
- When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream. Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings. | |

| Ben & Jerry's Fresh Georgia Peach Ice Cream
2 cups Peaches, finely chopped
1 1/4 cups Sugar
1/2 Lemon, juice of
2 large Eggs
2 cups Heavy cream, or whipping cream
1 cup Milk
Combine the peaches, 1/2 cup of the sugar, and the lemon juice in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, stirring the mixture every 30 minutes. Remove the peaches from the refrigerator and drain the juice into another bowl. Return the peaches to the refrigerator. Whisk the eggs in a mxing bowl until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 3/4 cup sugar, a little at a time, then continue whisking until completely blended, about 1 minute more. Pour in the cream and milk and whisk to blend. Add the peach juice and blend. Transfer the mixture to an ice cream maker and freeze following manufacturer's instructions. After the ice cream stiffens (about 2 minutes before if is sone) add the peaches, then continue freezing until the ice cream is ready. Makes 1 generous quart.
The best way to capture the elusive flavore of summertime. Ben and Jerry prefer small peaches because they have more flavor and less water than the larger ones.
