Bananas flambe

Add sugar and butter to a pan and stir until sugar begins to redden.

Add orange juice (if desired, add some other juice, e.g. raspberry, blackberry, strawberry... juice).

Reduce a bit, add bananas cut lengthwise and poach by pricking them constantly with a fork.

When bananas turn tender, add cognac or liqueur and flambe.
