How to make Banana Figs

  • Select firm, ripe Cavendish bananas.
  • Peel.
  • Blanch for 30 seconds in boiling syrup made up of one part water and ¾ part sugar. Brown sugar may be used.
  • Cook for one minute.
  • Remove from fire and let bananas soak in the syrup overnight.
  • Drain bananas.
  • Add ¼ part sugar to syrup and boil.
  • Add bananas and cook for one minute.
  • Everyday for three more days, concentrate syrup by boiling for five to seven minutes.
  • Soak bananas. On the final concentration, the syrup must attain a thick consistency.
  • Soak bananas in the thick syrup for a week to plump and be thoroughly impregnated with syrup.
  • Drain bananas and dry. The figs when dried can be handled without sticking to the finger.
