Pull down a section of banana skin and loosen the pulp from the rest of the skin; remove all coarse threads and replace the fruit in its original position in the skin; bake half a dozen bananas, so prepared, in a hot oven, until the skin is blackened and the pulp is softened. Take the pulp from the skins without injury to shape and dispose on a serving dish in half circles; brush over with half-melted currant jelly, or a hot sauce, and sprinkle with fine-chopped pistachio nuts. Serve with a bowl of sauce apart. Lemon, wine or Richelieu sauce is appropriate with this dish.
