preserving bananas / wine?

Options
I sometimes have a load of bananas left over - they go off quickly etc. Also they are often on offer. Can you make wine or preserve them in any way? I've just made banana cake etc

Can you freeze them? thanks

    My OH often puts bananas in wine. They go with any other fruit or veg.
    Doesn't matter how bashed they are.
    I often deliberately buy the really cheap skins going black bananas for this purpose.
    I don't drink but I'm told the wine is very good. OH had a real sucess with banana & apple wine recently.

    Do you make wine anyway?

    I'd recommend buying less bananas and freezing them cup up if you keep havign them left over.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    Hi

    I freeze bananas, either ones which are going over ripe or ones I have bought reduced. I freeze mine whole in the skins, the skins go brown but they taste fine. I use mine for making banana cake, muffins etc. When I am ready to get them out of the freezer I allow them to defrost at room temperature, I then chop one of the ends off and then squeeze the banana out, saves on having to mash it !!! :j
