1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
6 Tablespoons Butter
2 Bananas, sliced (slightly green work best)
2 Shots Rum
1 Teaspoon Vanilla

Combine the brown sugar and 4 tablespoons of butter in a skillet. Melt and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally.  When it starts to thicken drop a little of the caramel into a glass of cold water.  It should form a soft ball of caramel in the water.  Remove from the heat and add 2 tablespoons if butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and 2 shots of rum.  Return to the heat and stir to combine the ingredients.  Add the sliced bananas and cook over medium heat, stirring gently, for a few minutes, until the bananas are soft, but not falling apart.

Remove from heat and let cool until warm.  Server warm over vanilla ice cream.
