Serves 4

Sauteed fruit makes a quick and easy dessert. I've used bananas here, but thinly sliced apples would also work. If you don't want to use any liquor, apple or orange juice works just fine.

1-tablespoon butter

2 to 3 tablespoons sugar, or to taste

1/4 cup rum Cointreau, or fruit juice

Zest and juice of 1 orange

4 firm bananas, peeled and sliced lengthwise

1. In a non-stick pan, heat butter, sugar and liquids until sugar dissolves.

2. Add bananas and cook on low to medium heat until barely soft.

3. Serve warm, garnished with zest, alone or with whipped cream or ice cream.

NOTE: Peaches, nectarines or apples also work well.
