Tips & Warnings

• To get the best out of the bananas, make sure that they are very ripe and then put them in the freezer until they are frozen solid. You can do this with leftover bananas instead of tossing them away. Thaw them out completely before use by putting them in a bowl in the kitchem for a few hours. There may be some banana lining that gets stuck to the flesh, just cut away a thin piece with a knife.
