Grilled Bananas

4 bananas
3 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons grated orange rind
2 tablespoons orange juice, or rum, or brandy
Plain yogurt or cream to garnish

Place bananas in skins on hot grill and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they turn brownish-black in color.
Mix the butter, brown sugar, orange rind and juice together and set aside.
Place the cooked bananas still in their skins into individual dessert bowls. Using a sharp knife, slit the skin of each banana, then open out enough to be able to spoon in a little of the flavored butter.
Serve immediately with yogurt or cream.
