Banana Sauce

Banana ketchup or banana sauce is a popular Filipino condiment made from mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and spices. Its natural color is brownish, so it is often dyed red to resemble tomato ketchup. Banana sauce can be used on just about any dish - omelettes (torta), hot dogs, burgers, fries, fish and other meats. Banana ketchup is also a vital and distinct ingredient in Filipino-style spaghetti (sweeter than the traditional Italian spaghetti).- wikipedia [caption id="" align="alignnone" width="375"] Photo by Forest & Kim [/caption] Banana Sauce Ingredients: 1 kilo, Ripe saba bananas 1/4 liter, Vinegar 3 3/4 liter, Water 100 gm , Salt 1 kilo, Sugar 2 pcs.
