Some things you have to do every day. Eating seven apples on Saturday night instead of one a day just isn't going to get the job done.
[Jim Rohn]

 

Watermelon --it's a good fruit. You eat, you drink, you wash your face.
[ Enrico Caruso]

Fruits are acceptable gifts, because they are the flower of commodities, and admit of fantastic values being attached to them. If a man should send to me to come a hundred miles to visit him, and should set before me a basket of fine summer-fruit, I should think there was some proportion between the labor and the reward.
[ Ralph Waldo Emerson]

Banana Ketchup

 

Ingredients

1/2 cup golden raisins
1/3 cup coarsely chopped onions
2 large garlic cloves
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 1/3 cup cider vinegar
4 large very ripe bananas, peeled and cut i, nto chunks
3 to 4 cups water
1/2 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tsp ground allspice
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
3/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 tsp ground cloves
2 tbsp dark run



 

Preparation

I've never tried this but I suspect that it's quite similar to the
Filipino Jufran and Mafran sauces that I love so much. They're made
from bananas also and taste like catsup *should* taste.

Combine the raisins, onions , garlic, tomato paste and 1/3 cup
vinegar in the container of a food processor., Process the mixture
until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a large, heavy saucepan.

Add the banana chunks and another 1/3 cup vinegar to the food
processor container. Process the mixture until smooth. Transfer the
banana mixture to the saucepan. Add the remaining 2/3 cup vinegar, 3
cups water, brown sugar, salt and cayenne pepper.

Bring the mixture in the saucepan to a boil over medium-high heat,
stirring frequently. Reduce the heat to low and cook the ketchup,
uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/4 hours. If the ketchup
threatens to stick to the bottom of the pan at any point, add some of
the remaining water, up to 1 cup.

Add the corn syrup, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and cloves to
the ketchup. Cook the ketchup over medium-low heat, stirring
frequently, for 15 minutes longer, or until it is thick enough to
coat a metal spoon. Stir in the rum. Remove the ketchup from the
heat and let it cool a few minutes.

Force the ketchup through a fine sieve to strain it, pressing down
hard on the solids. Remove the ketchup from the heat and let it cool
to room temperature. Store the banana ketchup, covered in the
refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Makes about 3 1/2 cups.
