[color:"blue"][/color]Got this recipe from Capt. Alan over at Busbys over 10years ago. Dont know if he is still there.
Bottle of dark and light rum. If you use a better quality it goes down a little smoother.
Use equal parts of each rum
Add about (1 inch) vanilla 6oz in a .75 ltr bottle
Add about (1 inch) 1/2 cup sugar. Can be mixed with little water to help disolve but will dilute rum strength. I dont use water in mine.
Add one banana slice length wise into quarters and then force threw the opening. Try to keep the slices whole length wise. Looks good when you show it off.
Add both rums til bottle is full. Leave a little space at top so you can mix the sugar in when you invert it (after you cork it).
Keep inverting it til most the sugar looks disolved. Then let it sit for at least 3 weeks. Invert once each day to keep sugar mixing and to develope banana taste.
Been making 3 bottles every year now for over 10 years. The older it gets the better it gets. You can experment with more sugar and more vanilla to suit your taste.
When done you can drain from banana as it doesnt look to appetizing. You can then add a new banana for looks and to also help out the taste.
This stuff is also great over vanilla ice cream.
