Preparation:
1. To roast bananas, place whole unpeeled bananas on a baking sheet and place in preheated 375· oven until black and soft, about 25 minutes. Remove and cool. 2. Saute´ the onions in the butter over medium heat for three or four minutes to soften, do not brown. 3. Add ginger, peppers and garlic, cook one minute. 4. Add brown sugar, stir and add rum, orange juice, vinegar and chili sauce. 5. Bring to a boil and add mashed bananas and simmer ten minutes. 6. Add cilantro, salt and pepper. 7. Cool and set aside. If mixture is thin, thicken it by pureeing in the food processor for a second or two. You want to keep some chunky texture, so do not over process. 8. To use on fish or shrimp: grill or pan sear, place on oven proof pan, spoon glaze over in an even coating and finish cooking in the oven until done. 9. Pass additional glaze to use as sauce if desired.
