Baked Ham with Bananas

Cooking the Caribbean Way, p. 123

2 slices ham, 1-inch thick

2 bananas, peeled and sliced

3 oz. brown sugar

4 tablespoons coconut, freshly grated

4 tablespoons lime or lemon juice

1 oz. butter

Try dipping your bananas in a little lemon juice as you cut them so they don't go brown so fast.

Halve ham slices and arrange in a shallow, greased baking dish. Smother with banana, sprinkle with sugar, coconut and lime juice. Dot liberally with butter and bake in a moderate oven (350F.—Gas Mark 4) for 25-30 minutes.

Yummm look at all that sugary goodness.

My Rating: 5/5 "Loved this. It's super-delicious. All of the sweetness - banana, coconut, and brown sugar - blend incredibly well with the ham flavor and get nicely absorbed into the meat. I really needed a flavor flavor vacation during my fall/winter transition and this dish did the trick!"
