Minatamis na Saging with Kalamansi Zest - Recipe

As I have already mentioned making my Minatamis na Saging with Kalamansi Zest is dead easy, in fact there is no hard rule with the quantity of ingredients. The quantity of sugar actually defends on how much sweetness you want. For this recipe I use less sugar, I wanted to have the flavors of the bananas not being overpowered by the sugar. The bananas should not be overripe, it should be at a stage where the bananas are just starting to ripen and it should still be firm. For the kalamansi zest, all that is needed is just one rind of kalamansi juice lightly squeezed out and discarded, including the seeds. The indicated cooking time is also just a guide it is between 15 minutes to 30 minutes. I always thought the longer the bananas are cooked it makes the bananas firm and gelatinously chewy.

Here is the recipe of my Minatamis na Saging with Kalamansi Zest.

Ingredients:

16 semi ripe plantain banana, peeled trimmed
1 cups wash or brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla essence
1 kalamansi rind, seed, juice squished and discarded
