Thai Dessert: Banana in Syrup

          This is the way to utilize your banana and can preserve it from rotten. It is suit for unripe banana ( a bit greenish and yellowish banana). Of course, bananas come from the same bunch of my last entry. Hope you enjoy cooking J

Sorry to said, I forgot to take a photo when cooking. But it’s very easy and I think you can do without guide pictures.

Ingredients (for 4 serves)

Culivated bananas (unripe)             8        pieces

Limewater                                  to soak the banana

Salt                                           2        tsp.

Sugar paste                                50      g.

White/Brown sugar                       50      g.

Water                                        Up to you pot (to drown the banana)

A bit of lime/lemon                       to prevent sugar from crystallization

This is Limewater. I use Google translation but not sure it’s the same I use. This will help your banana becomes crisp and not be mushy.

Put the banana into limewater for 15 min – 1 hour. Time depend on the ripe level of banana. (If more ripe, more time use) For my unripe banana, I soak only 15 min.

Mix all ingredients into rice cooker pot. Press the cook button. Stir until all sugar dissolves then put banana. Open the pot lid and wait until the banana turn into red and the water becomes viscous syrup. (About 3 hours). Add lime in syrup then stir. After that stop heating. 

Keep in mind to cooking in low heat and be patient with the cooking time for the great result!!
