banana glut

What about banana custard? My mum used to make it for us when we were kids: just chop up a banana, cover with custard and put in the fridge until set. We loved it. You could also chop up a couple of bananas and put them into a trifle.

Banana bread works much better with really mushy, old bananas. Enjoy the fresh bananas now. Then, when you've got a couple left over in the bottom of the bowl that look past their best, make the banana bread.

You could turn the oven down low and give it a bit more time, but keep an eye on it.
I made banana chutney once - it was lovely - I could post the recipe if you want.

What about banana milk-shake for the children?

My youngest is very active and although he eats a lot he's terribly thin. I give him a milk-shake almost every day to try to build him up as he isn't fond of milk on it's own.

1. Freeze them whole (peeled of course). Make great ice lolly substitutes.

2. Sliced down middle; spread with peanut butter and sprinkle raisins or sultanas on top.
