Jam is pretty simple. It is just sugar, water, fruit and spices of some sort. Kyle likes banana bread, but shouldn't eat it, so I thought I could make jam that tastes like banana bread!
You will need:
5 ripe bananas
Lime juice
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 cup sugar
Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves...whatever you like! I just used cinnamon, about 1 Tablespoon
Chop the bananas, sprinkle with lime juice to keep them from browning too much. Boil the sugar and water, add the bananas, stirring constantly. You will want to smash the bananas as you stir. Add the brown spice(s) of your choice as you stir. This jam is done when you drag a metal spoon across the bottom of the pan and it leaves a path in the jam.
You can can this or refrigerate it. This made about 1 1/3 pints. I canned it for 10 minutes in a boiling water canner.
This is good with peanut butter. Slice a donut in half and make a sandwich with this and some peanut butter.
