Bananas Foster - a New Orleans Classic  Serves 6 to 8

        4 bananas

          1 cup orange juice

          1/3 jar of Caramel Pecan Sauce

          Optional: 1 Tbsp. brandy or orange liqueur

• Slice bananas into large skillet.  Add orange juice.
• Cook on medium heat, stirring gently to insure that each slice of banana has some orange juice over it - this will prevent bananas from turning brown.  
• When mixture is hot and bubbling, add Caramel Pecan Sauce and continue to cook and stir gently just until sauce has thickened a bit and bananas are becoming soft. 
• NOTE:  You can hold the Bananas Foster at this pint and reheat to serve later.  Just before serving, gently stir the optional brandy into the hot sauce.
• Serve Bananas Foster warm - over vanilla ice cream!
