Doce de banana is a cooked banana sweet. The version offered is served as a dessert and should not be considered a validated preserve.

Ingredients

800 g peeled ripe bananas
180 g sugar
40 ml lemon juice
100 ml water
1 g ground cinnamon

Preparation

Cut the bananas into slices then place them in a saucepan with the lemon, water, sugar and cinnamon.

Bring to a low simmer and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent the bottom from sticking.

Partially mash the fruits according to the desired texture. Stop when the preparation is thick but still pliable.

Divide into 8 portions. This recipe is a dessert to be kept cold after cooling; it does not provide a room temperature preservation protocol.
