Burro Bananas in Orange Sauce

So what’s the difference between a burro banana and the regular ones you’re used to eating? Burro are significantly smaller. When young, they have the tartness of apples and limes. When ripe, they’re creamy with a hint of lemon undertones. This makes them the perfect accompaniment to this orange sauce that’s served over vanilla ice cream.
