BANANAS IN A BAG !

Steps:

• Peel all the bananas - keep all the banana - even if "ugly" and dark.
• I normally use 3 med to large bananas for each bag as that suits my recipe.
• place in ziplock bags, press the air out to lay flat {or use FoodSaver if you have one - I do now ! :) }.
• seal and freeze for up to 8 mos. (I have kept them up to 1 yr, but some people get nervous for some reason?).
• I leave them whole and smash up when I thaw them to use in recipes.
• Banana Breads, pancakes, cakes, drinks etc etc.
• My sister smashes hers to the smoothness she likes and puts them in 1 cup measurements in muffin pans or plastic measuring cups and after they are frozen enough to hold shape removes them to place in ziplock bags or FoodSaver - other freezer containers could be used.
• We used to smash them smooth and freeze in the ice cube trays for our babies as it was a good serving size, then move the cubes to containers with pop off lids to pull out just what we needed that day.
• ( A medium sized flat Tupperware with 2cubes of banana - alongside the cubes of pureed chicken - green beans *cooked then frozen* in the diaper bag made our babysitter really happy when we took the kiddos over!).

RIPEN BANANAS IN 1 HOUR

Steps:

• 1. Spread your bananas (with the peels on) onto a dish made for the oven and pop them in the oven at 300 degrees for an hour. Really that's all it takes.
• 2. They will come out looking very black. But don't worry, on the inside they are nice and soft and sweet. The heat from the oven will activate the sugars in the banana, simulating the ripening process.
• 3. You can stick them in the fridge for a few minutes until the bananas are cool enough to handle, and then peel them open and see, They will not be burnt at all! Just soft and ready to mash into whatever recipe you want to make.
