Another “Church Lady Cookbook Recipe”!
I found it interesting that a Jamaican recipe found it’s way into a Midwest Church cookbook, but I gave it a shot!
I thought it was pretty good! Not a slam-dunk-can’t-wait-to-make-it-again-recipe, but tasty nonetheless.
Let me know if you try it!
Jamaican Baked Bananas
4-6 bananas, sliced as desired
2 tablespoons of margarine
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 cup cold orange juice
1/4 – 1/2 cup of raisins (optional)
grated coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and arrange the sliced bananas in casserole. In a saucepan, combine margarine, sugar, and 1 cup of orange juice. Cook and stir about 1 minute. Then combine cornstarch and remaining orange juice, add to the hot mixture and cook until clear and thickened. (Never got “clear” for me??) If desired, add raisins. Pour mixture over bananas and top with grated coconut. Bake 25-30 minutes. Serve warm.
