However, all of us, when buying bananas, have certainly encountered a problem: after a few days, this fruit begins to turn black and rot . We have certainly tried everything to try and make sure this doesn’t happen, but to no avail. Let’s discover together, in this regard, a particular tip. Although it involves a series of steps to be carried out carefully , it will help us keep the bananas in good condition for a good two years .
Bananas: how to store them
Keeping bananas for more than a few days without rotting seems impossible, but nothing is, especially if you know the right tips and remedies. To start, obviously, you have to buy the quantity of bananas you want; scrub the skin with a toothbrush and a little baking soda ; rinse them under running water then dry them with absorbent paper.
We continue by depriving the fruit of both ends and, without removing the skin, we cut the bananas into pieces that are about two fingers thick. Once this is done, simply obtain one or more glass jars of approximately 700 ml and insert the following ingredients in this precise order: a bay leaf ; two cloves of garlic or two cloves; two slices of chili pepper (previously cut); a teaspoon of coriander seeds ; a teaspoon of dill seeds and a teaspoon of a pepper mixture (white pepper, black pepper, green pepper, pink pepper and allspice).
Then we can insert the pieces of banana (in a jar of the size above there will be about a dozen) and another two or three slices of chili pepper. Then we add a teaspoon of sugar ; one and a half teaspoons of salt ; a teaspoon of 70% vinegar and a little hot water .
How to end the retention process
After placing all the ingredients in the jars, it is necessary to sterilize them . First of all, let’s equip ourselves with a saucepan filled with hot water, and insert a piece of cloth inside to prevent the jars from bursting once inserted inside. When we have put all the containers in the pot with their respective lids simply placed on them, we just need to bring everything to the heat and let it sterilize for around ten minutes.
After the necessary time, we will only have to dry the jars, close them tightly so that no air enters, and store them in a cool place for two years.
