Banana Jam Recipe

Banana Jam is a sweet preserve made from ripe bananas cooked with sugar and lime juice until thickened. This recipe yields a spread with a smooth, rich texture and a balanced sweetness brightened by citrus acidity. The slow simmering concentrates flavors and helps develop the jam’s set. It is ideal for spreading on toast or adding to desserts and can be stored long-term once jarred and sealed properly.

  • 4 Cups sugar
  • lime juice of 3

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Slice your banana and place it into the bowl. Add sugar and lemon Juice.
  2. Mix the whole content well and pour it into a large pot.
  3. Cook on higher heat until you have a strong rolling boil, then reduce heat and let the jam cook very slowly. Cooking the jam should take you no more than 30 minutes altogether. Check if the jam is set by placing a few drops of cooked hot jam into a very cold spoon. If it runs, the jam needs some more cooking. repeat the test to see if it has set. Once the jam is ready pour into clean sterilized jars. Tighten the lid over the jar. Turn the jam upside down to create a vacuum, then store it in a dry, dark, and cool place.
  4. Store the opened jam jar in the fridge!

Notes

  • One teaspoon is considered a single serving; the recipe makes about 70 servings, roughly three jars.
  • Test jam set by placing a small amount on a cold spoon; if it runs, continue cooking.
  • Store opened jam in the refrigerator to preserve freshness.
  • Use sterilized jars and seal properly with the lid tightened and inverted for vacuum creation.
