| They're too old to fritter, but would still make a fine smoothie or banana cake. Any other suggestions for using up wrinkly fruit very welcome.

| When I have a mountain of black bananas, for breakfast I like to mash one (or two, depending on the height of the mountain) into a bowl with a fork before adding cereal and milk... |

| Bananas which are about 2/3rds black are perfect for banana ice cream. I freeze them until I have 4 then blitz with 1tb lemon juice and 200gm vanilla sugar, then add 250ml full cream milk, whizz briefly. Cover right on top of the liquid (to stop browning) and chill. Add 250m chilled whipping cream and still freeze or churn. Yummy |

| Thanks Ray for your delicious banana ice-cream recipie. I'd never thought of freezing banana's before but it really works - they come out very mushy, but perfect for making muffins, cakes and the terrific ice-cream. Everyone should give it go. |

| Hi Sue, I'm pleased you enjoyed the banana ice cream recipe, I should have mentioned that I freeze the bananas in ice cube trays so it's easier to use. Over ripe bananas also work well as a frozen yoghurt. Whiz 4/5 bananas with 2tbs clear honey then add 1 cup Greek yoghurt, whizz until smooth, add the juice of 1 - 2 lemons. Chill, then churn or still freeze. |

e
all have our "defaults - the chicken pie, risotto or soup that we can do
without really thinking. And while WE might be bored of our old
favourites, they'd taste fantastic to someone else. So do please share
your ideas for using up the last carrot in the fridge, those last two blackening
bananas or the single lingering single egg white".
