In a saute pan, melt the butter and sugar together, being careful not to burn
the sugar <let it get to a light brown color>.  When the sugar has browned,
add the juices and let simmer on a high heat until the mixture has reduced to
thin syrup.  Peel and half the bananas and saute them in the syrup. When the
bananas start to get soft, raise the heat and add the Grand Marnier and ignite
the alcohol and serve over the ice cream.
