Honey Banana Tea Sandwiches

Redneck Epicurean's Note:

The combination of honey and banana promotes great help with anemia (thanks for that info, Rita!). It also makes a great spread for a tea sandwich! You could use toasted white bread, but I have found that the combo spread on whole wheat bread or pumpernickel is WONDERFUL! It also gives a bit more nutritious value to what you're eating. I don't normally toast the wheat bread for these little treats, but you could. It's also a great recipe to serve to younger tea party guests.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 0 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 40 quarters

• 2/3 cup honey
• 10 slices whole wheat bread or 10 slices pumpernickel bread
• 3 bananas, ripe and firm, 1/2 inch sliced

Directions:

1. Cut the bread into decorative shapes with a knife or cookie cutter. If the bread is very crumbly, heat the honey just slightly to make it easier to spread.
2. Spread both the top and bottom slices with honey and fill with the bananas.
3. Trim the crust and cut into fourths.

Oh yum, what a great combination of flavours! The banana goes great with the honey and bread making this a truly delightful sandwich. I used a local creamy organic honey and organic bananas with local pumpernickel bread for a wholesome treat. Just great and also very pretty to look at! I didnt measure the honey, just spread it on there. :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing a keeper with us, Redneck Epicurean!
