Monkey Butter!!!!!!

Okay I must be in the mood to do some canning. Being stuck in the house for a few days with all the snow outside will make you a little crazy. I have found this new recipe that I am about to die to try out. Now this is the name it goes by so do not blame me for it! MONKEY BUTTER... Yes you heard right Monkey Butter. I found this site on YouTube and there is a great video on making the fruit butter by Katzcradul. I am always looking for new jams, jellies or butters to make for the store, (Country Road Antiques). You can find us on Facebook. That was my plug for the store LOL. Anyway back to this fruit butter. Below you will find the recipe... Hope you like it!


MONKEY BUTTER
5- perfectly ripe bananas, no bruises
1- 20 ounce can, crushed pineapple in natural juice (do not drain)
3- cups sugar
¼- cup coconut, (I used sweetened shredded), finely chopped
3- tablespoons bottled lemon juice


Put the crushed pineapple with juice in a large pot. Slice bananas directly into the pineapple. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cook over low heat until mixture thickens, takes about 30 minutes or so. Fill sterilized jars, and process for 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Remove from bath and let cool for 24 hours before removing bands and labeling.
This is made like an apple butter so it is cooked down to the thickness that you want. Now where did I put that piece of buttered toast!
