Banana Frost

Banana Frost

Ingredients

4-5 ripe bananas
¼ cup lemon juice
½ cup orange juice
½ cup canned pineapple juice
1 cup milk
1 ½ cup heavy cream
Yellow food coloring
2 seedless oranges

Directions

Puree enough bananas (2-3) in a food mill or blender to give 1 cup. Immediately add lemon juice to puree to prevent discoloration. Mix well. Add orange juice, pineapple juice and milk. Whip cream until thick and shiny. Fold into banana mixture. Add a few drops of yellow food coloring if you like. Pour into freezing trays or a 8x8x2” pan. Freeze until firm. When ready to serve slice 1-2 bananas and sprinkle with lemon juice. Cut sections from oranges. Spoon Banana Frost into serving dishes and decorate with banana slices and orange sections. Makes 6 servings. Double this recipe if you like, as it can be kept frozen. Cover the remaining if you wish to keep it.

If you notice a hole in the upper left-hand corner of your Farmers' Almanac, don't return it to the store! That hole isn't a defect; it's a part of history. Starting with the first edition of the Farmers' Almanac in 1818, readers used to nail holes into the corners to hang it up in their homes, barns, and outhouses (to provide both reading material and toilet paper). In 1910, the Almanac's publishers began pre-drilling holes in the corners to make it even easier for readers to keep all of that invaluable information (and paper) handy.
