  • Saba or Burro Bananas

These bananas were from my banana tree. 

  • 6 to 8 Saba bananas (sometimes called Burno banana) or the cooking banana
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 2 tsp. juice of fresh lemon
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Put everything together and boil for about 10 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved. 

Pandan leaves are used in lieu of vanilla if available.  It is more authentic.

Then you can add crushed ice and a little milk or better yet, you can top it with vanilla ice cream or your favorite ice cream, add your favorite topping and eat it like a banana split.  Yum.
