I’ve already added pineapple for a varied flavor and caramel for an ice cream topping. Next is turning it into a Banana Cream Pie.
And OMG you have to try it on sourdough toast with JIF peanut butter.
Then a few weeks later I was searching through my box of tricks, er recipes for tailgating recipes I wanted to try and found a recipe for BANANA FOSTERS BUTTER. It just screamed out for me to try it. It was fantastic too and great on Peanut Butter Toast.
