You can put butter on or put it in just about anything; it’s that flexible! We chose to make monkey butter, which is a little different from regular butter but adds taste and creaminess and is really great! Let us fill you in on the deliciousness of monkey butter in case you’ve never heard of it or tasted it. This tropical, fruity mixture is loaded with bananas, pineapple, and coconut, and it goes well over a wide variety of foods.
The Vertical Monkey Butter 1 After combining all the ingredients in a saucepan and allowing them to cool, this recipe is delicious spread over ice cream, spooned over toast, or eaten directly from the jar! For those times when you’re in a need, whether it’s for a late-night snack, to top off your ice cream, or to satisfy that sugar craving (we’ve all been there, right?), monkey butter is the perfect choice! Try this instead of ordinary butter; it’s delicious and will be a hit with your family.
What is needed
1 can (20 oz.) of pineapple chunks with all of the juices
1 and 3/4 cups of white sugar
three to four ripe bananas, thinly sliced
1/3 cup of coconut
one-fourth cup vinegar
Toppings for serving: ice cream or toast
Cans made of glass
GETTING READY
Bring a large saucepan or Dutch oven filled with sliced bananas, pineapple (and its juices), sugar, coconut, and lemon juice to a boil over medium-high heat.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture thickens and shrinks. Sliced bananas will crumble into little bits.
Take the mixture off the heat and pour it into glass jars when it forms a coating on the back of a spoon. Once cooled, transfer to the fridge and keep until needed.
