Flightsuit Orange & Banana Glaze

I was looking for a recipe for an orange-cinnamon glaze for fish and ended up with a recipe for topping for waffles that beats all other toppings forever (and we'd tried a lot of different toppings: maple syrup, honey butter, yogurt, you get the idea).  For the order of operations, I think I'd make the batter for the waffles and start the waffle iron heating, then start the glaze, and make the waffles while the sauce reduces, but this was definitely a science experiment that worked out so well that I'm now trying to reverse-engineer it into something replicable.

Also, Mark Hamill looks adorable in bright orange, don't let anybody ever tell you any different. <3

Flightsuit Orange & Banana Glaze

Ingredients
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup orange juice
2 bananas, sliced 1/2-3/4" thick

Instructions

1. In a 9" skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
2. Add sugar and cinnamon and whisk to combine.
3. Add the orange juice and whisk until the sugar has dissolved and the cinnamon's mixed in.
4. Let that heat while you slice up your bananas.
5. Add the bananas so they're more or less evenly distributed in the liquid.  There's some overlap, inevitably, but that's all right.
6. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for ... oh, let's say 10 minutes?  I haven't actually done it this way yet, so I'm making this up.
7. The glaze will start to thicken as it cooks.  Once it's reached the thickness you like, take it off the heat.  It does thicken a little as it cools.
8. Serve while it's still warm!

I originally made this as a waffle topping, but I think it'd be awesome on ice cream, cheesecake, and poundcake as well, probably on a whole host of other things too.  Next science will be replacing the bananas with apples and adding a spoonful of pumpkin puree to the mix, but until then ... more of this forever and ever please and thank you. :D
