Ingredients
- 3 large overly ripe bananas
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp rum or rum extract
Instructions
- Peel the bananas and place them in a medium sized bowl. Use a fork to roughly 'chop' them up. Drizzle the lemon juice over them, and set the bowl aside.
- Add the water to a medium-large sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the sugar, whisking consistently to dissolve, and bring the sugar water to a low boil.
- Whisk in the bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, and rum.
- Reduce to low heat, and allow the mixture to gently simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, and mashing up the bananas as it cooks.
- The syrup will thicken up nicely as it cooks, up until it easily coats the back of a spoon. At this point, transfer the syrup into glass mason jars and refrigerate. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. Spread it over toast, a generous dollop over a stack of pancakes, or over several scoops of vanilla ice cream.
