2 cups peeled ripe bananas, cut 1 inch by 2 inch slices — Note: banana should not be overripe or it will be too soft when cooked
2 cups sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lime juice
3 cups water
1 cup thick coconut milk
Bring water to a boil and dissolve sugar, salt, and lime juice. Simmer until reduced to approximately 2 cups. Submerge pieces of banana in the syrup. Continue to simmer until the banana is cooked. Quickly reduce the coconut milk with a pinch of salt. Be careful not to separate it. Use it for a topping over the sweetened banana pieces. Serve hot or cold.
