BANANAS FOSTER BUTTER

A while back my friend Sandra over at Diary of a Stay at Home mom featured a Banana Jam which I had to try, you can see my recipe here.  It really was great.  Then yesterday I was searching through my box oftricks, er recipes for tailgating recipes I want to try and found a recipe for BANANA FOSTERS BUTTER. It just screamed out for me to try it. It was fantastic too and great on Peanut Butter Toast.
