HISTORY OF BANANAS FOSTER
The origin stories of iconic American dishes are often mysterious, or at the very least, contested. Not so with Bananas Foster, the classic New Orleans dessert comprised of bananas flambéed with rum and served with vanilla ice cream. In 1951, legendary restauranteur Owen Brennan asked his sister Ella to come up with a “fancy new dessert” for a dinner that night at their restaurant, Vieux Carre, honoring local civic leader Richard Foster.
Ella remembered a simple dessert her mother had made by sautéing banana halves with butter and brown sugar. To “jazz it up,” as one does in New Orleans, Vieux Carre’s chef Paul Blange poured rum and banana liqueur on top, setting the mixture on fire at tableside, and tossed in cinnamon to make it sparkle in the flames before serving the concoction over vanilla ice cream. They called it "bananas Foster," and a classic was born.
A NOLA CLASSIC MEETS RUM FROM THE OUTER BANKS
For the ever-important rum in this recipe, we partnered with the Manteo, NC-based craft operation of Outer Banks Distilling, whose flagship Kill Devil Silver Rum offers pitch-perfect notes of toasted marshmallow, crème brûlée, and vanilla with a clean finish. As far back as the 1600’s, rum was referred to as “kill-devil,” and the Outer Banks town of Kill Devil Hills is believed to be named for the shipwrecked cargos of rum from the Caribbean that would wash up along its shores. Lighthouses and technology have made those waters safer, but thankfully, Outer Banks Distilling is keeping the tradition of rum in the Outer Banks alive.

- NnutcaseVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoWow!
This is one of my new favorite nut butters. The rum is really delicate, the banana comes through with a caramelized flavor. The peanut and cashew complement the banana SO well. I eat this out of the jar!

- JSJanet S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoThe very best!
I like this butter better than all the rest. Perfect flavor of banana and each nut butter. If it was available all year, that's when I would buy it.

I’ve tried several of their limited edition peanut butters but this is the best. I plan to get it again.

- ENEllen N.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoSavor The Flavor!
This is the most scrumptious peanut & cashew butter. When I taste tested a wee spoonful I was immediately enchanted with the texture and the outstanding flavors. My favorite way to indulge is by a spoonful or two (most often several) right from the jar. This enables the tastebuds to enjoy each ingredient of this delightful concoction. My only regret is that I only purchased two jars and if/when it returns I will not repeat that mistake! Thank-YOU Big Spoon Roasters!
