It wasn't all that long ago that bananas arriving in Alaska arrived all brown and yucky due to the long shipping and storage from Central America. This recipe was meant for bananas in that condition so let your banana get all brown and yucky before using. Eklutna is an Alaska Native community that used to be a hard drive from Anchorage back when the road was only a mud strip. Ingredients:

3/4 cup blueberries |
2/3 cup light brown sugar |
