Baked Bananas with Caramel Sauce Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 4 Ingredients - 4 bananas, ripe but not soft - 1/2 cup brown sugar - 1/4 cup water - 1/3 cup cream - pinch salt - 1 pint vanilla ice cream - 12 raspberries or other berries, for garnish (optional)    This novel combination of some very simple ingredients produces a delightful dessert.   Directions Preheat oven to 350°.  Do not peel bananas. Put them on a baking sheet or other oven-proof container and bake 20 minutes. Bananas should be soft and very dark when done.	1

	While the bananas bake, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, bring water, salt and brown sugar to a boil. Add cream and cook 5 minutes. Do not peel the baked bananas. Slice them lengthways, leaving the halves attached at the stem end and arrange on serving plates. Add a scoop of ice cream to each plate and drizzle warm sauce over. Garnish, if you wish, with a few berries or shavings of chocolate. Serve immediately.	2
