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.

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h40m

Yield 1 loaf

Number Of Ingredients 13

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup light brown sugar, plus more as needed
1 large egg
2 cups ripe banana, (about 4 large bananas)
½ cup full fat sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup dark chocolate chunk
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the long sides so it will be easy to lift out the bread, and spray again.
  • Add the butter to a medium nonstick pan over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber brown and smells nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Watch carefully so the butter does not burn. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes.
  • Add cooled brown butter and brown sugar to a large bowl. Beat with an electric hand mixer on medium speed until evenly combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg and beat until light and fluffy, 3-4 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mashed bananas, sour cream, and vanilla and mix with a rubber spatula until well combined.
  • In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture and banana mixture to the butter mixture, starting and ending with flour and folding with a rubber spatula between each addition until just incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chunks.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth with an offset spatula, then sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top.
  • Bake the banana bread until golden brown and a toothpick or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Set the loaf pan on a wire rack to cool for at least 1 hour, then lift out the banana bread and slice.
  • Enjoy!

BANANA JAM

Categories     breakfast, condiments

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.
  • Take out the lump of ginger and transfer the mixture to clean jelly glasses. Cover jars and process in a boiling water bath 10 minutes or seal with parafin.

Tips for Making the Ultimate Banana Jam:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe or spotty bananas are ideal for making banana jam, as they are sweeter and have a more intense flavor.
  • Choose the right type of sugar: White sugar is the most common type of sugar used in banana jam, but you can also use brown sugar or honey. Brown sugar will give the jam a slightly darker color and a richer flavor, while honey will add a floral sweetness.
  • Add some spices: Spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves can enhance the flavor of banana jam. Add them to taste, depending on your personal preference.
  • Cook the jam until it reaches the desired consistency: The cooking time will vary depending on the amount of sugar you use and the desired consistency. A thicker jam will take longer to cook than a thinner jam.
  • Let the jam cool before storing: Once the jam is cooked, let it cool completely before storing it in a clean glass jar. This will help to prevent the jam from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Making banana jam is a great way to use up ripe bananas and create a delicious and versatile condiment. With its sweet and tangy flavor, banana jam can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or yogurt. It can also be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts. So next time you have some overripe bananas on hand, don't throw them away – make a batch of banana jam instead!
