2poundsBarely ripe bananas
Juice and zest of one orange
Juice of 1 lemon
3ouncesRaisins; soaked in 2 Tbsp. rum
1cupToasted pecans; chopped
Cinnamon and freshly grated nutmeg to taste

Directions

1. In large nonstick skillet, melt butter and add brown sugar. Cook over low heat until brown sugar melts and starts to bubble.

2. Peel bananas and cut in half lengthwise. Make cross slices so pieces of banana are about ½- by ½-inch.

3. Turn up heat and add bananas to bubbling brown sugar. Add remaining ingredients, including rum poured over raisins, and bring to fast simmer.

Taste for seasoning and serve immediately.

Although this is excellent with Vanilla Bread Pudding for breakfast, this relish is just as delectable warm on vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
