Bananas_FosterBananas Foster – Serves 6

• 6 Bananas (cut in half and sliced long ways)
• ¾ lb Light Brown Sugar
• ¾ cup Banana Liquor
• ¾ cup Light Rum
• ¾ stick Light Salted Butter (cut in sections)

In skillet (I use a copper clad oval skillet) add light brown sugar, butter (cut in sections) and banana liquor. Heat it up until bubbling, constantly stirring. Add bananas and gently turn (make sure not to break a part). Only cook about one minute per side. Add white rum and get mixture bubbling again and light the rum on fire. I use a grill lighter. The flame will be blue and burn of all the alcohol. Serve over Bluebell vanilla ice cream.

This dessert is always a big hit and will satisfy even the sweetest tooth!

Merry Christmas
Jim

We are so proud to announce that four of our St. Augustine Realtors have been named FIVE STAR Real Estate Agents by Florida Homebuyer Jacksonville magazine for 2010! Over 19,000 recent homebuyers in Jacksonville and 250 mortgage and title companies were surveyed and asked to evaluate real estate agents based on nine criteria: customer service, market knowledge, closing preparation, communication, integrity, marketing of the home, finding the right home, negotiation, and overall satisfaction. And, with this very rigorous research process, our agents came out on top! We couldn’t be happier for Pauline Cake, Juana Husted, Dottie Lay, and Michelle Gonzalez!

pcThis is Pauline’s 5th time being honored as a FIVE STAR Agent! Her customer service cannot be beat, which everyone who has worked with her knows. She has been helping people find their perfect home with Davidson Realty since 2001.Juana Husted

Juana has been named a FIVE STAR Agent three times now!  Due to her technical background, she is very good with details and always goes the extra mile for her customers.

dottieDottie is a four time FIVE STAR Agent now!  Dottie was born and raised in Jacksonville Beach, so she is very familiar with all of Jacksonville FL real estate and is happy to help you find your dream home!michelle g

This is the first of many times Michelle will be named a FIVE STAR Agent! Michelle has had a great year and we know we will see even more from her in 2011!

Less than 7% of actively licensed agents in the Jacksonville area made the FIVE STAR Agent list, so we are very proud to have four of them be part of The Davidson Team. All four of these women are Certified Distressed Property Experts, which means they are extremely knowledgeable in Short Sales and Foreclosure prevention. Please contact them or any of our great Realtors if you have real estate related questions or need help buying or selling your home.
