ingredients

2 quarts water
8 wonton wrappers, each about 3 inches square
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons lemon juice
¹⁄₄ cup peach preserves
2 tablespoons dark rum
2 ripe bananas

directions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Boil water. Drop the wonton wrappers in one at a time and bring water back to a boil. Boil for about a minute and a half then drain carefully and return wrappers to pot. Fill pot with cold water.
Brush a cookie sheet with oil. Carefully lift wrappers from water shake off as much water as you can and arrange on sheet. (NOW you know why we used cold water don't you?).
Place 1 1/4 tbsp of sugar into sieve and top wrappers.
Cook for 16 to 18 minutes. They should be nicely browned, crisp and glazed. Now remove wrappers from sheet to a cooling rack carefully with thin spatula.
Mix the lemon rind, lemon juice, peach preserves, and rum in a bowl large enough to hold the bananas.
Peel the bananas, first cut them in half crosswise, then into 1/3-inch lengthwise slices.
Add them to the bowl, and mix gently to coat the banana slices with the sauce.
When you go to serve place a wonton crisp on each of the four dessert plates then divide the banana mixture among the plates, spoon on top of the crisps.
Place the remaining wonton crisps on top of the bananas, sprinkle the remaining teaspoon of sugar on top.
Serve immediately.

I WILL NOT say they are Vegetarian or Vegan any longer due to the database changes. I DO NOT WISH YOU TO RECOMMEND THEM. Consider them as faulty. It's your own fault if you trust them. Don't bother to review. Don't ask me a question. I won't answer. I'm not here anymore. I will NOT warrent any recipe on this site put up by me as correct due to Scripps problems. IF they claim to have fixed it, I still do not warrent any recipe as correct except the ones that I put up personally on the tripod site so use any recipe posted under my name at your own risk. Basic? Lots of luck. Now the ones at chef.philocrates.tripod.com [see De Gustibus Veg*n in link on top], yeah, I will take responsiblity for all of them and the ingredients. I put them up and any errors are all mine. No the door didn't hit me on the ### but the skid marks in the parking lot are mine.
