Ingredients

  • 12 ounces beer, regular
  • 2 lbs dark brown sugar
  • 2 cups molasses or 2 cups syrup
  • 2 lbs bananas or 2 lbs peaches, well ripened

Directions

  1. 1
    Mix all ingredients in a large jar or crock.
  2. 2
    Cover loosely and place in the sun. Let ferment for 1 day. Make sure cover is loose fitting as it expands with fermentation.
  3. 3
    Store in shady area after fermenting.
  4. 4
    Dab mixture on posts, rocks, or tree trunks with an old paint brush. Results will improve with time. Butterflies seem to find it more easily on a large rock in a flower bed.
