Hour with Banana Bunch? (4)

I believe the answer is:

hand

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'banana bunch?' is the definition.
'hand' can be an answer for 'bunch?' (I have seen 'Bunch of bananas ' mean 'hand' so perhaps 'bunch' could also mean 'hand'). I'm unsure of the 'banana' bit.

'hour with' is the wordplay.
'hour' becomes 'h' (abbreviation).
'with' becomes 'and'.
'h'+'and'='HAND'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hand that I've seen before include "Cards dealt to player" , "Player's cards" , "Pass" , "Worker; pointer" , "employee" .)
