Homemade Banana (Crosby and Kenny) Recipe

Miscellaneous Untried Recipes

This is from a collection of recipes from books I own, but which I haven't myself tried yet. However, you can have faith that at least the authors themselves have tried them, so they're not deadly or anything.

From Kitchen Cordials by Nancy Crosby and Sue Kenny:

• 1 medium-sized ripe banana
• 1 cup sugar dissolved in
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups 80-proof vodka

Peel and mash the banana and place in a glass jar. Add vodka, making sure the banana is completely covered. Close jar tightly and let steep for 8 days. Pour through strainer to remove most of the banana and then add sugar syrup. Strain and filtersolution to remove remaining haze. Add vanilla and stir.
