ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup dry white wine
¹⁄₂ cup water
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
¹⁄₄ cup ginger, coarsely grated
3 tablespoons butter
1 lb banana, ripe and cut in half both ways
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder

directions

In a medium saucepan, combine the wine, water, sugar and ginger. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced to .5 cup. It will take about 15 minutes.
Melt the butter in a saute pan. Add bananas, cut side down. Add five spice and cook until golden brown -- about 2 minutes.
Remove from heat. Transfer to a bowl and pour the hot syrup onto the bananas and gently toss.
Let stand at least 10 minutes.
