Antiguan Charcoal Baked Bananas:
Antigua also known as Waladli or Wadadli by the native population, is an island in the West Indies. It is one of the Leeward Islands in the Caribbean region and the main island of the country of Antigua and Barbuda.
This Caribbean dessert can be started in leftover coals
6 large ripe bananas, in a bunch
4 tbsp butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp ground allspice or 1/2 tsp fresh grated nutmeg
3 limes, halved
1/4 cup dark rum, heated in a small pan onside of grill
Set the bunch of unpeeled bananas in hot coals. Bake until black and
soft to the touch. Meanwhile, heat butter with brown sugar and spices
until bubbly. Each person should slit his banana,
squeeze a lime half over it and drizzle the butter-sugar mixture on
top. Ignite rum and pour it flaming over the bananas a little at a
time, shaking the skillet gently until the flame dies.
