Hawaiian Baked Bananas

4 bananas

1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed

3 Tbsp. sherry*

1/2 cup chopped almonds or Macadamia nuts

2 Tbsp. butter or margarine

Peel bananas and place in a small baking dish. Mix together brown sugar, orange or pineapple juice and sherry, then pour over bananas. Saute the chopped nuts in butter and sprinkle over bananas. Add dash of nutmeg to taste if desired.

*Note from Marlen: I used dark rum instead of sherry. I sprinkled a bit of sweetened coconut just before serving.
