How to Preserve Bananas
For some reason my family has a different feeling about bananas on an almost weekly basis.
Some weeks I buy two big bunches and by the end of the second day they are all gone! And then other weeks they announce that they no longer like bananas and the bananas sit until they are too ripe to eat.
There is never a middle ground! Those of you with kids understand I’m sure. At least I’m hoping you do and that it’s not just my family;)
So, what are we to do when the bananas are not being eaten? What if we have an overabundance of bananas that will not be eaten?
We preserve them!

So, give these banana recipes a try. And then stand back and admire your pantry full of prepared food! And be prepared to enjoy some delicious tasting bananas throughout the upcoming year!
