Time 25m

Yield 2 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 ripe bananas, no brown spots
1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (with the juice)
3 cups sugar
3 tablespoons bottled lemon juice (to assure acidity)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (natural or sweetened)
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Add all ingredients to a saucepan slicing bananas over the top. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking. Continue stirring and mashing your fruit to get a thick consistency; about 20-30 minutes.
  • Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Using a chopstick or plastic knife, pop any air bubbles. Wipe rims spotlessly clean and place a sealing lid on top the jar. Place your lid and rings on finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes for pint jars and 10 minutes for half-pint jars.
  • If jar lid seals it will easily keep for one year in a cool, dark place. If jar doesn't seal, place it in your refrigerator and eat within 3 months, or within one month of opening.

NEIMAN MARCUS MONKEY BREAD WITH STRAWBERRY BUTTER RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Neiman Marcus Monkey Bread with Strawberry Butter Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by MJH

Number Of Ingredients 10

Strawberry Butter:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup strawberry preserves
Neiman Marcus Monkey Bread:
1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) active-dry yeast
1 cup lukewarm milk (no hotter than 125 degrees)
Scant 3 1/3 cups (14 ounces) flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter

Steps:

  • Strawberry Butter: Whip butter in a bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Fold in strawberry preserves. Return to refrigerator and allow butter to solidify. Neiman Marcus Monkey Bread: In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, drizzle the yeast over the warm milk, stirring to combine. Set aside for a few minutes to hydrate the yeast. Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Using the paddle attachment with a stand mixer, or a hand-held mixer, beat the softened butter into the yeast mixture. With the mixer running, add the flour mixture until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (as the dough thickens you may need to do this by hand). Continue to mix on medium speed until the dough appears sticky but becomes smooth to the touch when you roll a small piece into a ball, about 2 minutes. Form the dough into a disc and transfer it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour (time will vary depending on the temperature in the room). After dough has risen, turn out onto lightly floured work surface. Punch down and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2″ diamond shaped pieces. Dip each piece in melted butter. Arrange in a 4″ pie pan, 4 or 5 overlapping pieces per loaf. Allow to rise for 1/2 hour. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until brown. Remove from oven and brush with more of the melted butter.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: Using overripe bananas will give your monkey butter a sweeter, richer flavor.
  • Don't overcook the bananas: Overcooked bananas will make your monkey butter mushy and bland. Cook them just until they're soft enough to mash.
  • Add your favorite spices: Monkey butter is a versatile condiment that can be flavored with a variety of spices. Some popular additions include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
  • Get creative with your add-ins: Monkey butter can be made with a variety of different add-ins, such as nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
  • Use monkey butter as a spread, dip, or sauce: Monkey butter is a delicious spread for toast, crackers, and fruit. It can also be used as a dip for pretzels, cookies, and other snacks. Additionally, it can be used as a sauce for pancakes, waffles, and ice cream.

Conclusion:

Monkey butter is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you have some overripe bananas, don't throw them away. Instead, make a batch of monkey butter and enjoy it all week long.
