Ingredients

  • 6 ripe bananas
  • 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lime juice

  2. Half each unpeeled banana lengthwise and line all of them in an ovenproof dish (peel down).

Remember: Bananas turn brown very quickly. Once sliced, cook them promptly.

More about Maple

Maple syrup comes in four classifications, according to colour and taste.

At the start of sugaring season, syrup is generally clear, with a lightly sweet taste. It becomes darker and caramelized as the season goes on.

An unopened can of maple syrup keeps for many years.

Once the can is opened, syrup should be kept in an airtight container in a cool place.

100% pure maple butter contains no butter or dairy.

Like all 100% pure maple products, maple butter comes from the sap of the maple tree… and that’s all.
