Baked Bananas

Ingredients

• bananas
• sugar
• a little mace
• lemon juice
• lemon peel
• melted butter

Instructions

1. Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Lay them in a covered dish. Shake sugar over them, then add a little mace, lemon juice, lemon peel, and melted butter. Bake in a hot oven until soft, seven to fifteen minutes depending on the quantity in the dish.
2. Alternatively: peel and slice the bananas, leaving them unseasoned. Lay them in a pan where bacon has been cooked, after pouring away most of the fat. Cook for five minutes in a hot oven. Send to table with hot bread, crisp bacon, and coffee for breakfast.
