If you want a real Jamaica treat, there is nothing that beats rummed bananas. My friend Virginia Burke introduced them to me in the hills above Ocho Rios. She baked them on a traditional jerk pit. The taste of this dish will always bring back the memories of that afternoon in March and our friendship and laughter. Kevin Brauch, The Thirsty Traveler

Reviews
I thought I would like this recipe, as I do like Banana’s Foster, and thought this sounded similar. I could not eat the bananas at all…. very nasty tasting. My husband, on the other hand, did like it. I’m not sure it’s something he’d ask me to fix again, but he did manage to get it down and say it was good. I even tried putting it over a slice of pound cake with vanilla ice cream. I just didn’t care for it.
