Collect and Clean the Peels: Save banana peels, ensuring you have enough for a batch. Thoroughly wash to remove any dirt or residue.
Chop and Boil: Cut cleaned banana peels into small pieces and place in a pot. Submerge peels in water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until peels are soft and water has a deep, amber hue.
Strain and Sweeten: After infusing flavor, strain liquid into another pot. Add chosen sweetener, starting with a 1:1 ratio and adjusting to taste.
Thicken: Simmer sweetened mixture until it thickens to a honey-like consistency, typically 30 minutes to an hour.
Cool and Store: Allow banana peel honey to cool before transferring to a clean jar. Refrigerate and store for up to a month.
Creative Uses: Banana peel honey is a versatile alternative to traditional honey. Use it as a topping for pancakes, waffles, or oatmeal, or stir it into yogurt, teas, or smoothies. Incorporate into dressings or marinades for a unique flavor profile.
