Ingredients
- 4 cups mashed banana
- 4 cups sugar
- 4 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- yellow food color (optional)
Instructions
Put all of the ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat and slowly bring it up to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Let the jam boil for 5 or so minutes. Add food coloring if desired. I did because it was kinda yucky looking. Scoop off foam.
Pour into washed jars and can in a water bath following the usual method. I boiled for 15 minutes since tha'ts what we do all other jams at.
Makes 8 half pint jars – you can easily double the recipe if you need a larger quantity. I used wide mouth half pints and 3 pints so I doubled it when I made it.
Storing
Or you can just pour the jam into a clean jar and pop it in the fridge – it won’t last long anyway!
Usage
This jam is great on toast, you can spread it on pancakes, you can use it in muffins and it’s perfect for a milkshake..
