   Optional: If you want you can now add the rum and you either let it cook for a 2-3 more minutes or you make it flambe.

   How to flambe your banana: turn off the heat under the pan. Add the rum to the pan and quickly light up the sauce with a match. Remove your hand quickly as the alcohol will fire up quickly. Let the alcohol burn itself, the fire will put itself out in a few seconds (watch the video to see the process).
