Monkey Butter

Preparation

1. Place sliced bananas in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and top with sugar, pineapple (and juices), sugar, coconut and lemon juice, and bring to a boil.
2. Reduce heat to medium-low and, stirring frequently, cook until mixture is thickened and has reduced down. Banana slices will break down into pieces.
3. Mixture is ready when it coats the back of a spoon; remove from heat and transfer to glass jars. Let cool, then refrigerate until ready to use.
4. Note: If you cannot find ground coconut, unsweetened shredded coconut is your next best option. Flaked coconut will work as well, but will have a chunkier texture.
