Time 40m

Yield 80

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups cranberries
1 ½ cups water
2 cups mashed bananas
7 cups white sugar
½ (6 fluid ounce) container liquid pectin
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over medium heat combine cranberries and water; simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in mashed banana and sugar. Increase heat to medium-high; boil 1 minute. Stir in pectin and lemon juice.
  • Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack the jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

This jam is a great way to add some sweetness to your breakfast or snack. It's also a good way to use up leftover cranberries.

I'm not a big fan of jams, but this one is really good. The cranberries and bananas are a great combination.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my jam turned out too thick. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This jam is a bit tart for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think it would be great on toast or scones.

I made this jam for a Christmas party, and it was a huge hit. Everyone loved the unique flavor and the beautiful color. I'll definitely be making this again for my next party.

This jam is a great way to use up leftover cranberries. I had a bag of cranberries that was about to go bad, so I decided to make this jam. It was so easy to make, and it turned out delicious.

I've never been a big fan of cranberries, but this jam has changed my mind. The sweetness of the bananas really balances out the tartness of the cranberries, and the result is a delicious and unique jam. I'll definitely be making this again.

This cranana jam is absolutely divine! The balance of tart and sweet is perfect, and the texture is smooth and spreadable. I used it on toast this morning, and it was the perfect way to start my day.
