MONKEY BUTTER (MONKEY JAM)

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a saucepan slicing bananas over the top. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking. Continue stirring and mashing your fruit to get a thick consistency; about 20-30 minutes.
• Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Using a chopstick or plastic knife, pop any air bubbles. Wipe rims spotlessly clean and place a sealing lid on top the jar. Place your lid and rings on finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes for pint jars and 10 minutes for half-pint jars.
• If jar lid seals it will easily keep for one year in a cool, dark place. If jar doesn't seal, place it in your refrigerator and eat within 3 months, or within one month of opening.
• Note: Product may turn a light pink hue.

MONKEY BUTTER

Steps:

• 1. Add all your ingredients except bananas into a heavy saucepan then lastly slice up your bananas and turn on the heat. Bring to a boil, stirring often.
• 2. I used a potato masher to get the bananas to the consistency I wanted. Once you have it to a boil reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until it thickens to your desired texture. Make sure you are stirring often. Now, this didn't take long for mine maybe 10 - 12 minutes or so cooking including the boiling point.

MONKEY BUTTER RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• The original recipe stated that the author preferred ground coconut over flaked coconut and that she purchased it at Winco in the bulk food section. Well, we are lucky enough to have a Winco close by so I ran by and picked some up. I have never used ground coconut before and have just always used the flaked coconut. So if you haven't seen ground coconut, here is what it looks like:DSC_0807 It is much finer than the flake coconut. To start, peel and slice the bananas and then put them into a large pot. Add the rest of the ingredients and put on the stove to bring to a boil, stirring constantly. DSC_0811 After bringing to a boil, lower to a simmer and cook until thickened, still stirring constantly. I was worried that maybe the bananas were going to stay in huge slices but after cooking, they were reduced down into a jam texture. mmm...... When properly thickened, spoon the mixture into sterilized glass jars and let cool. At this point in the recipe, this jam can just be refrigerated and will keep for approx 4-6 weeks. The lemon juice in the recipe will keep the bananas fresh. But once your family tries it, it might not last that long. Or after putting the jam in the jars, you can seal the jars with sealing lids and rings and process in a water bath for 15 minutes. Just a note that if you process the jam in this method, it will turn out to be a little pink instead of the mellow yellow color like this: Monkey Butter Recipe - Banana, Coconut and Pineapple Jam!

I'm thinkin' I'm putting this on PB&J's, english muffins and even over ice cream. I know that your family will go "Ape" over this Monkey Butter because This Pin Rocks! ***Update Jan 19, 2014 - Whether or not you just cook this jam or use the 15 minute water bath process, this jam should be kept in the refrigerator or freezer***

NEIMAN MARCUS MONKEY BREAD WITH STRAWBERRY BUTTER RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Strawberry Butter: Whip butter in a bowl with electric mixer until fluffy. Fold in strawberry preserves. Return to refrigerator and allow butter to solidify. Neiman Marcus Monkey Bread: In the bowl of a stand mixer or in a large bowl, drizzle the yeast over the warm milk, stirring to combine. Set aside for a few minutes to hydrate the yeast. Meanwhile, in a separate large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar and salt. Using the paddle attachment with a stand mixer, or a hand-held mixer, beat the softened butter into the yeast mixture. With the mixer running, add the flour mixture until thoroughly combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed (as the dough thickens you may need to do this by hand). Continue to mix on medium speed until the dough appears sticky but becomes smooth to the touch when you roll a small piece into a ball, about 2 minutes. Form the dough into a disc and transfer it to a lightly greased bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set aside to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour (time will vary depending on the temperature in the room). After dough has risen, turn out onto lightly floured work surface. Punch down and roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into 2″ diamond shaped pieces. Dip each piece in melted butter. Arrange in a 4″ pie pan, 4 or 5 overlapping pieces per loaf. Allow to rise for 1/2 hour. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until brown. Remove from oven and brush with more of the melted butter.
