Dolly's Banana Liqueur

Step 1: Peel and thinly slice bananas. Place in a large glass jar with lid.

Step 2: Add whatever liquor you're using as a base and the turbinado sugar, mix until sugar is dissolved.

Step 3: Place jar in refrigerator (might not be necessary in a non-tropical country) for a week, stirring every few days.

Step 4: Strain and discard banana pieces. Strain again through a double layer of cheesecloth. If there are still particulates, you can strain through cheesecloth again until you're happy with the results.

Note: the particulates will settle. I use the almost-clear liqueur, and then just throw it out when it gets to the murky dregs. In a nice bottle, this makes a great gift!
