Banana Chutney - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 ripe bananas (1 1/2 cups mashed)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 pinches ground cloves
1 teaspoon freshly grated lemon rind

Preparation

Mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher, but not too thoroughly.
Leave a few lumps.
Place the mashed bananas in a small, nonreactive saucepan.
Add the lemon juice, lemon rind, and cloves.
Bring the mixture to a boil and then simmer gently, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes.
Use a heat diffuser if needed to prevent sticking.
While simmering, the bananas will slowly heave up into mounds and then spout little puffs of steam, like simmering oatmeal.
Pour the chutney into a clean jar, cover, and refrigerate.
It will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks.
