2. Meanwhile, mix together the lemon and the juice, sugar, marmalade and water in a pan. Bring to the boil for 1 minute, then transfer to a serving dish.

3. Add the rum to the sauce in the serving dish and stir in. As soon as the bananas are cool, remove the skins and place them in the sauce. Coat the bananas on all sides of the sauce. Slice the bananas into diagonal chunks, decorate with mint leaves and orange rind. Serve at room temperature with cream.
