It is easy to make syrups using fruits that do not juice well, like bananas. When you make your sugar syrup (I like to use 1:1 organic cane sugar and filtered water) add the sliced fruit. I made banana syrup with two bananas and a spoonful of home-made vanilla (rum infused with a vanilla bean sliced open). You can strain out the fruit and eat it with oatmeal.
I also make syrups with seasonal fruits like calamansi (like limes) and lilikoi. Then keep in the frig or freezer for use off season.
that banana syrup is delightful mixed with rum and served either over ice, warm, or hot with cream.
