I got a really great deal on a whole box of bananas. $2 for a whole banana box full! That is a lot of monkey chow. They were quickly going south and the guy at the flea market threw them in with my bushel of peaches for two bucks. Everyone thought that I was nuts, but I had a plan. First, I gave away a few bunches to my mom, my dad, and my sister. Then I took them home and fed some to the minions and this is what I had left. No way we were gonna get these babies eaten before they were bad.
Sooooo.... I peeled them.
Then I put them on a cookie sheet and shoved them in the freezer. A few hours later I took them out and stuck them in a zipper baggie. Now whenever I want to make banana bread, I can pull out a few, thaw them in the microwave, and whip up a batch. Thawing them in the microwave makes them a really nice, mushy consistency for bread. I usually zap even fresh bananas that I am using for bread.
Works for me!
Now I need to make a list of recipes that require bananas.
Nice! I never thought about freezing banana's...
