Oranges and Bananas for Dessert

Peel four bananas (the red kind if possible), cut them across into rather thin slices and arrange them in a glass dish; strain the juice from two oranges, pour it over the bananas, sprinkle them plentifully with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Or peel the oranges, slice them and arrange the slices in the dish among the slices of bananas. Cream, either whipped or plain, may be served with this dish, also sugar.
