WE BE JAMMIN' JAMAICAN BANANA BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans.
• Beat together 2 tablespoons of softened butter and cream cheese in a large bowl until fluffy. Slowly beat in sugar until well incorporated. Add the egg and mix well. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. In a different bowl, mix together the bananas, milk, 2 tablespoons rum, lime zest, lime juice, and vanilla extract; stir well. Pour 1/3 of the flour mixture into the butter and mix well. Mix in 1/2 of the mashed bananas. Continue with another 1/3 of the flour, followed by the remaining banana mixture, and finally the remaining flour. Fold in 1/4 cup pecans and 1/4 cup coconut flakes.
• Pour the mixture into the loaf pans, and bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about one hour. When finished, cool for 10 minutes in the pan, remove, and finish cooling on a wire rack.
• After you take the banana bread out of the oven, prepare the topping by stirring together the brown sugar, remaining butter, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons of rum in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer stirring constantly; cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about one minute. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 tablespoons pecans, and 2 tablespoons coconut. Spoon this topping over the loaves while they are still warm. The topping will harden slightly when the loaf cools.

JAMM'N JAMAICAN PUDD'N

Steps:

• Puncture the soft top part of the coconut with a long nail or ice pick and drain liquid into a small dish or measuring cup.
• Crack the coconut using a hammer and separate the white meat from the shell. Peel off the thin brown skin; strain the reserved coconut liquid through a fine sieve to remove any impurities. Measure liquid, if there is not ½ cup of liquid additional water may be added to equal ½ cup. Using half the coconut meat (approximately 4 oz weight) puree the coconut with the liquid. This mixture should measure 1 cup approximately.
• Grate the remaining coconut with the medium blade of a food processor or on a medium hand grater, reserve ½ cup grated coconut and package the remaining and store in freezer or refrigerator for other uses.
• Preheat oven to 300 degrees and butter a 2 quart oven proof casserole.
• Add the coconut slurry, half and half, rice, salt and brown sugar; place in preheated oven and bake for 2 hours making sure to stir every 30 minutes to prevent the rice from settling to the bottom.
• The last 30 minutes of cooking, stir in the vanilla extract, raisins and ginger. Sprinkle with the reserved ½ cup grated coconut.
• While the pudding is cooking, peel and dice mango over blender jar to capture all the juices; add the lime juice and puree together in a blender. Pour into small dish, cover and refrigerate until serving time.
• Serve the pudding warm from the oven topped with a spoon or so of the mango puree.
