BANANA JAM



Banana Jam image

Your overripe bananas don't need to go to waste anymore. Everyone will go "bananas" for this sweet, delectable jam/sauce on everything from waffles to ice cream, crepes to cake filling. I've never done the full canning routine with this, since it's sealed in the jars while hot, but I suppose you could. Recipe from the Joy of Desserts website, adapted slightly for personal taste.

Time 1h10m

Yield 7 eight-ounce jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 lemons, about medium size
3 cups granulated sugar
3 cups water
8 ripe bananas, about medium size
A piece of fresh ginger about the size of an olive
A few whole cloves

Steps:

  • Juice the lemons. Slice the rinds into paper-thin strips.
  • Boil the sugar and water about 10 minutes. Then add the lemon juice and rind, the bananas - carefully mashed - the ginger and a few cloves. Cook this slowly 30 to 45 minutes. Stir it carefully so that it will not scorch. It will become a pale yellow mush and does not need to be tested for proper consistency.

Tips:

  • Prep your cranberries: Before you start cooking, make sure your cranberries are clean and free of stems. You can do this by rinsing them in a colander under cold water.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the jam from scorching.
  • Stir frequently: Stirring the jam frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is a great way to ensure that the jam is cooked to the right consistency. The ideal temperature for cranberry jam is 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius).
  • Let the jam cool completely: Once the jam is cooked, let it cool completely before storing it. This will help the jam to thicken and develop its full flavor.

Conclusion:

Cranberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast, used as a filling for pies and pastries, or even added to cocktails. With its tart and tangy flavor, cranberry jam is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful way to enjoy cranberries, give one of these recipes a try.
