Instructions
- Prepare the bananas by peeling bananas and slicing them into small pieces.
- In a small saucepan combine the granulated sugar and water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Once the sugar has dissolved add the salt and sliced bananas. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and to help the bananas break down.
- After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow the mixture to cool slightly.
- Once the mixture has cooled a bit, strain it through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container to remove any banana solids.
- Let the syrup cool to room temperature before transferring it to a jar or bottle for storage.
Notes
- Make it sugar-free. Swap the granulated sugar for a substitute like stevia to make it sugar-free.
- Be sure the bananas aren’t too soft. You want ripe bananas that are still firm and not mushy or they will be difficult to strain.
- Warm before use. Feel free to gently heat some of the banana syrup over low heat and serve warm for the best flavor.
- Storing: Store this banana syrup in a sealed jar for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. I do not recommend storing it in the freezer.
- Using Banana Syrup: Experiment with the concentration of the syrup to find the right balance of sweetness and banana flavor for the dishes your using it in.
