Banana Jam

Ingredients

  • 5 cups ripe bananas sliced
  • 2 cups sugar granulated sugar
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice , or lemon juice
  • generous pinch of salt

    • Directions

    1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
    2. Put all ingredients in large pot over med heat.
    3. Once the jam starts to bubble, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
    4. While the jam is cooking place jars, lids and any equipment that will come in direct contact with the jam into the oven. Bake for 10 minutes, then shut off oven, but leave items in there until you are ready to use them.
    5. Once jam is cooked, ladle the hot jam into the jars and place lids and screw tips on. As jam cools vacuum will be created and lids will seal (you will generally hear a pinging sound when the seal happens).

    Notes

  • Makes 4 standard jelly jars worth.
  • For a spiced rum banana jam, swap ½ the white sugar for brown sugar and add a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and a ¼ cup of dark rum while simmering.
