1.
Heat oven to 350°F. Toss banana slices with salt and sugar in a baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until sugar bubbles in a thick syrup and bananas are very aromatic.

Transfer bananas to food processor or blender and purée with lemon juice. When no chunks remain, add half and half, cinnamon, clove, rum, and vanilla—blend till smooth. If necessary, adjust seasonings to taste, and transfer to an airtight container to chill for several hours until base is very cold.
