For the filling: In a small bowl combine the sugar and water and warm over medium heat. Don't stir. Let the sugar melt slowly and change color toward caramel. Add the butter and cream. Mix well. Add the salt and stir again. Let it cool slowly a little. Then pour in the banana purée. Let it cool completely and sandwich the macarons together.
