Preparation

• Separate the egg roll wrappers since they are probably in one large stack (this was my normal job when The Mother was making this)
  Slice the bananas into 1/2 inch thick slices. I could probably get 6-8 pieces out of a banana depending on the length.
  Dip one of the slices into the brown sugar and make sure it is fully coated.
  Place it on the bottom 1/3 of the egg roll wrapper and place a piece of jack fruit on top.
  Fold over the bottom and sides to make a rectangle and start rolling. Use a little water to dampen the end of the wrapper to get it to stick to the roll.
  Deep fry and drain the oil
  *Option if you would like, add some brown sugar and butter in a skillet and drip the turon into to make a nice sugar coating :D
