Really good!!! I agree with the other review about being reminiscent of bananas foster. There's a hint of caramel without being sweetly overpowering. I may reduce the amount of lemon peel next time (a bit too much of the lemony taste for me), but a great recipe!! The whole family loved it!!!!!
Delicious! Yes I would make it again! Reminds me of Bananas Foster- we ate it with french Vanilla ice cream- Stupendous!
