Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Slice 2 medium ripe bananas into rounds. Place the banana slices, 1 cup light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract into a quart-sized jar.
-
Step 2.
Pour 2 cups gold rum into the jar. Gently stir with a spoon until the sugar is mostly dissolved. Seal the jar with its lid.
-
Step 3.
Let the jar sit at room temperature in a dark spot (like a pantry or cabinet) for 4 to 6 days. Stir the mixture every day or so to redistribute the bananas that float to the top. Taste the liqueur periodically to check the banana flavor intensity.
-
Step 4.
Once the liqueur is flavored to your liking, remove the banana slices. Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth into a clean bottle or jar. Discard the solids. Refrigerate the liqueur for up to 2 months.
