  • ½ tsp cumin seeds
  • 500 ml distilled vinegar
  • 500 ml water
  • 325 g muscovado sugar light brown
  • 1.25 kg banana peeled and sliced

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dry fry the cumin seeds in the base of a preserving pan, stirring constantly for about a minute until golden.
  2. Add the vinegar and water plus all the other ingredients except the lime juice and zest.
  3. Cook over a low heat, stirring, to dissolve the sugar.
  4. Bring slowly to the boil.
  5. Lower heat to a simmer, keep stirring, (you don't want it to stick) and cook for 45 minutes or until there's just a single layer of liquid on the surface.
  6. Add lime juice and zest and simmer, still stirring, for another 5 minutes.
  7. Ladle into hot sterilized jars and seal immediately, labelling when cool. (I used 3 x 500 ml jars with a little spare).
  8. Store in a cool, dark place for 6 – 8 weeks before using.
  9. Refrigerate after opening.
