Time 30m

Yield 4 half-pints

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about one medium lime)
3 1/2 cups bananas, diced (firm, ripe ones work best)
2 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Place lime juice in a one quart measure.
  • Peel bananas and dice directly into lime juice.
  • Stir with a wooden spoon.
  • Keep stirring as you dice each banana into the lime juice to prevent darkening.
  • Measure sugar and water into a wide 2½ quart saucepan, and stir to dissolve sugar as you bring syrup to a boil.
  • Cover tightly for the first 2 minutes (so the steam will wash sugar crystals from side of saucepan) then uncover, add bananas (with lime) and boil over low heat for about 30 minutes or until thick.
  • Stir often to prevent sticking, especially during last 10 minutes.
  • Jam is done when a spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves a track that closes slowly, or when jam mounds while stirring.
  • Fill hot, sterilized jars quickly with the hot jelly or jam mixture, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  • Wipe the sealing surface of the jars with a clean paper towel, dampened with hot water, to remove any jam or sugar crystals.
  • Place lids, screw on bands finger-tight and process jars for 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
  • Cool jars upright for 12-24 hours while vacuum seal is drawn and jam or jelly sets up. Let the jars sit undisturbed while they cool.

I love the flavor of this jam, but it's a little too runny for my taste. I'm going to try cooking it for a little longer next time.

This banana jam was a hit at my last brunch party. It was the perfect combination of sweet and tangy, and everyone loved it on their toast and scones.
