banana compote

Ingredients

• 7 large bananas, peeled and sliced into moderate-thickness pieces
• 250 ml of water
• 250 g of sugar
• 1 teaspoon (approximately half a teaspoon) of ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, melt the sugar over medium heat, without stirring. Once completely dissolved, add the water and gently mix to form a syrup.

Add the bananas to the pot and gently mix with a wooden spoon. Reduce the heat.

Once the mixture starts to simmer, pour the cinnamon over the bananas and mix constantly to ensure even distribution. Add the lemon juice and mix again.

Cook until the desired consistency is reached, being careful not to break the bananas. Store in the refrigerator.
