🍌 Monkey Butter Recipe
Ingredients:
-
5 ripe bananas, sliced
-
1 can (20 oz) crushed pineapple (with juice)
-
¾ cup granulated sugar
-
½ cup shredded sweetened coconut (optional for extra tropical flair)
-
3 tablespoons lemon juice
-
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
-
Combine ingredients: In a medium saucepan, add the sliced bananas, crushed pineapple (with juice), sugar, lemon juice, and coconut (if using).
-
Cook: Stir everything together and cook over medium heat. Bring it to a gentle boil, stirring often to avoid sticking or burning.
-
Simmer: Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should thicken up and become jam-like.
-
Mash (optional): If you prefer a smoother texture, use a potato masher or immersion blender to break down the chunks.
-
Cool and store: Let the monkey butter cool, then transfer it to sterilized jars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
