Grilled Bananas with Peach Schnapps and Cinnamon
Region: Italy
Category: Desserts
Season: Summer
Difficulty: Easy

Grilling bananas is a unique and fun way to prepare them.  Prepare this dish when you can take advantage of a still very hot grill from a barbecue dinner, but remember to scrape the grilling grate with a grill spatula and let some of the bits burn off from any previous food that was cook before cooking the banana.
