Minatamis na Saging

Minatamis na Saging
Minatamis na Saging is a traditional simple merienda that I have enjoyed during my childhood when hamburgers, spaghetti or fried chicken was for the well off. Saba was always available in our backyard back then in the province. Today once in a while I have been cooking minatamis na saging for the kids. This was cooked when I made a post on Razon’s halo-halo together with my post on leche flan a few days back. The bananas are slowly simmered for about 30 minutes to achieve a rubbery gelatinous texture. It is best serve chilled and sometimes with milk.

Ingredients:

Minatamis na Saging - Saba

12 pcs. ripe banana, saba variety, peeled
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla essence

Cooking procedure:

Arrange peeled banana in a sauce pan. Add sugar and fill with water till it fully covers the bananas. Bring to a boil and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the bananas are cooked and the syrup is reduced to half. Add vanilla essence during the final 3-5 minutes of cooking. Let cool and chill in the refrigerator before serving.
