Some one wanted to know about bananas. We love canned bananas as a special treat, especially with ice cream or over white cake, but they are great right out of the jar. Here's the way I make them.
Spiced Bananas Hawaii
12 slightly green bananas
2 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 tab butter
1 tsp ground cloves
6 short sticks cinnamon
1 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp mace or nutmeg
Combine all but bananas in a sauce pan. Heat to boiling. Slice bananas in 1" chunks and add to boiling syrup. Simmer for 5 minutes, gently. Ladle into sterilized jars, and set jars into canner with water already at a simmer. Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Remember to adjust time for your altitude. Makes about 5 or 6 pints, depending on the size of the bananas.
