Best Banana Condiment

Directions

Peel and coarsely mash the bananas.

Combine in a medium saucepan with the lemon juice, zest and sugar, if desired.

Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 to 15 minutes, or until thick. Keeps up to 2 weeks in a covered container in the refrigerator.

For a more complex chutney, cinnamon, cloves and raisins may be added before cooking.

Note: Ripen bananas in the refrigerator until they are dark brown and soft.

Yields 1 cup.
