Banana Jam...

I made some Banana Jam the other day...

I gave it all away to my family, 

and the little boys who live across the street.

They all love it!

It is very easy to make.

It is bananas,  sugar and lemon or lime juice.

The recipe is as follows.

Ingredients:

2 cups of mashed bananas (about 5 small)
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice
(This recipe makes about 2 1/2 to 3 cups of jam)

Instructions:

1.  Fill the water bath canner with water and bring to a boil.
2.  Wash the jars, rings,  and lids.
3.  Fill the jars with very hot water to sterilize.
4.  Put all ingredients in a pan and stir occasionally.
5.  Let the jam boil for 5 minutes.  Keep lowering the heat as it thickens,  so that it doesn't scorch.
6.  Ladle the jam into the jam jars.  Leave 1/8 inch head space (clear space) at the top.
7.  Wipe the rim of the jar to make sure it's clean.
8.  Put the lids and rings on.
9.  Using the jar lifter,  lower the jars into the boiling water and process for 10  minutes.
10.  Remove from the water bath canner using the jar lifter and allow to cool completely on a towel on the counter.  

Note:  If you don't want to water bath the jars,  you can refrigerate them and just use it within a few weeks.

This is delicious!  Especially good with peanut butter on a sandwich!  Try it,  you'll like it!

'Til next time,   Love ya,  Jean
