Monkey Butter – Detailed Recipe

Stir the mixture gently as it heats up until it comes to a steady boil.

Reduce and Simmer:

Once boiling, lower the heat to medium-low.
Continue to cook the mixture, stirring frequently. As it simmers, the banana slices will begin to break down and the mixture will thicken.
The goal is to reduce the liquid so that the mixture becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Finish and Jar:

When the mixture has reached the desired thick, spreadable consistency (this can take some time—be patient and stir often to prevent sticking), remove the pot from the heat.
Carefully transfer the hot Monkey Butter into sterilized glass jars.
Let the jars cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate.

Serving Suggestions:

Enjoy Monkey Butter spread on toast for a bright, tropical start to your day or use it as a decadent topping on ice cream.
Keep refrigerated and use within a couple of weeks for best flavor and texture.

Stir Frequently:
- To avoid burning the sugars and to help the banana break down evenly, stir often during the simmering stage.
Consistency Check:
- Test the mixture by dipping a spoon in—if it coats the back well and a line drawn through it stays visible, it’s done.
Coconut Options:
- Ground coconut gives a smoother texture, but shredded or flaked coconut is a fine substitute if ground isn’t available.

Enjoy your homemade Monkey Butter—a delightful, tropical treat that adds a burst of flavor to simple snacks or desserts!
