Equipment

  • Food Processor or Blender
  • Small Sauce Pan
  • Small Ramekin or Bowl

Ingredients

  • 1½ tbsp Water cold
  • ½ tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp Sugar
  • ½ cup Saba Banana cubed; ripe but not too ripe or mushy
  • 1 tbsp White Vinegar or Cane Vinegar
  • ¾ tsp Onion Powder
  • ¾ tsp Garlic Powder

Instructions

  • Mix the cold water with the cornstarch and set aside.

    2 tbsp Sugar, ½ cup Saba Banana , 1 tbsp White Vinegar or Cane Vinegar, ¾ tsp Onion Powder, ¾ tsp Garlic Powder, ¾ tsp Sea Salt , Chili
  • Heat the sauce pan over medium flame and add the cornstarch slurry. Stir very well for one minute until the mixture begins to thicken.

  • Cool the mixture in the refrigerator in a glass sauce jar. Enjoy!

  • Keep stirring often.
