Hey Amy!

I got a hankering for plantains last night.  I have never made them at home but have made plantain chips for a ‘bon voyage’ party I threw for Aunt Barb when she was going on a cruise.  The chips were great but the dip was awful.  We devoured the chips but never again will I make that bad dip.  Ooops I digress!  Back to me wanting plantains and trying to make them.  I was floored how easy it was and how delicious they were.  Served with a piece of salmon and you could have the perfect meal for me!

Ingredients:

8-10 plantains
2 sticks butter
3/4 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. dark rum

Preheat oven to 350.  Peel and quarter plantains, placing split side up in a shallow baking dish.  Dot ploantains with slices of butter; sprinkle with sugar and rum.  Bake covered for 30 minutes.  Remove cover and cook at 400 for and additonal 15 minutes.  Devour!

Oh my they were delicious!  But then again, butter, rum and brown sugar will make anything delightful.
