Also, one tip to keep in mind when freezing beans and fruits in syrup: the liquid will shrink, so be sure to leave plenty of liquid on top, and only a bit of headspace. I had to throw out a bunch of rhubarb in syrup my in-laws gave us this year because they did not follow these rules. The syrup shrunk down and exposed the rhubarb to nasty freezer burn.
And I also freeze extra bananas, to the point that my old roommate still ribs me about making banana bread.
