This is a family favorite. It's very good on toast, especially beer-bread toast. (Recipes available from this site.) Try it with peanut butter for a great sandwich. You can also use it to top ice cream. It's popular with banana-lovers young and old. This can be frozen, but it will darken. As written, it's fine, but you can experiment with spices too. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, lemon/orange peel are all good candidates. Pick one or two for variety.

This jam is way too spicy for me. I couldn't even finish a single bite.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my jam didn't set properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be great with a little less sugar.

I'm not a huge fan of bananas, but I really enjoyed this jam. The lime juice and spices balance out the sweetness of the bananas perfectly.

This jam is a great way to use up overripe bananas. I always have a few bananas that are about to go bad, so this recipe is a lifesaver!
