Easter weekend has finally arrived and while we’re now allowed to welcome people into our gardens, the weather is looking a little chilly. However, we’re British after all and a bit of woolly jumper weather won’t put us off a good barbecue with friends. But Calabash Luxury Boutique Hotel & Spa has ensured there’s an opportunity to cast our taste buds to sunnier shores by sharing the recipe for its signature banana crumble – well known as one of its best dishes. It’s a pudding that’s appropriate for the cooler weather but every mouthful will transport you to the nutmeg scents and tropical flower-speckled hills of Grenada. Enjoy!

100g butter
100g flour

1 large banana – peel and slice
1 tbsp butter

Filling

  1. Heat the butter in a pan, add the banana slices and cook for 30-40 seconds.
  2. While the pan’s hot, add the rum and light the pan with a match to burn off the alcohol.
