Cordial: Banana Nut Bread (testing)

I'm going to make a banana and a walnut cordial and blend them to try and achieve banana nut bread.

Banana:
1 and 1/2c sugar
3/4c water
1tea vanilla
3c alcohol
2 ripe bananas, peeled and mashed

Mix all ingredients and stir/shake every day for 3-4 days. Strain. Age a month.


Walnut:
1 c toasted walnuts
Simple Syrup of 1c and 1c
1/2 c honey
1tea. pure vanilla extract
1/2c brandy

Steep walnuts in liquor for 1 month. Then prepare simple syrup and honey. Once cooled to 'warm' add the syrup and vanilla.

4/13/15 edit: I've strained them today. I used a scientific pipette to take 2ml of walnut and 6ml of banana to guess at a proportion. I added a little corn syrup for my imprecise test. It's drinkable, but I think a proper syrup and some vanilla will help. The two jars are currently without vanilla or sweeteners at all
