Notes: This bread has never sat around long enough for me to know how long it lasts, but if I had to guess, I'd say it would store for 1 month in the refrigerator or 1 week at room temperature. Even though it is "canned", I wouldn't trust it to last like properly processed jams, jellies, pickles, etc.

Finally, an easy way to deal with ripe bananas. The fact that they taste great is a plus. Thanks for the recipe.

This bread turned out really well. My batch made 8 jars instead of the 7 it called for, so you might want to have an extra jar ready, just in case. I gave 5 of them to friends, and everyone loved it. It would be really nice at Christmas for gifts to give. You do need to label them though, it just looks like a jar of sand or something.
