| Step | Instruction |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat, melt the unsalted butter. |
| 2 | Add the brown sugar and fresh cranberries to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cranberries soften, about 5 minutes. |
| 3 | Peel and slice the bananas, then add them to the skillet. Stir gently to blend the bananas with the cranberries and sugar mixture. |
| 4 | Allow the bananas to cook for about 2 minutes, ensuring they are heated through. |
| 5 | Carefully pour the brandy into the skillet. |
| 6 | Using a long match or barbecue lighter, ignite the brandy to burn off the alcohol. Be cautious while doing this step. |
| 7 | Once the flames subside, your flambe is ready! Spoon the brandied fruit over scoops of ice cream and serve immediately. |
