Ingredients
- 4 banana medium to large overripe
- 1 lime juiced
- 250 ml water
- 200 grams sugar caster or superfine
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Chop the bananas into small discs measuring approx. 2.5 cm (1 inch) and place in a bowl with the lime juice.
- Bring the sugar and water to a boil over a medium heat.
- Once the sugar syrup is bubbling away, lower the heat, add the chopped bananas and stir to combine. Add the cinnamon and vanilla bean.
- Allow the mixture to boil and then turn down to a simmer. Stir continuously as the bananas break down and become soft. Allow the mixture to cook for 30 mins. (be sure to check on it every 5 mins and stir it).
- The jam is ready when it has thickened and become golden brown. Test by running your finger across the back of a wooden spoon.
- Remove from the heat, allow to cool and store in a sterilised jar.
Notes
- Depending on the size of your bananas the recipe makes one jar - approx. 375 ml or 1 ½ Australian cups. The jam should last about one week
- Do not use young or fresh bananas. The younger variety will produce a jam that is floury and dull in taste.
- Use safe practices when cooking with boiling liquids. Be very careful towards the end as it thickens - even at a low heat. Hot jam is dangerous and will bubble and spit.
- Use a sterilised, clean jar. The best way to do this is to run your jars through a hot water cycle in your dishwasher. Allow them to dry naturally, and then use them to store your jam.
- The colour of your banana jam will depend on how ripe your bananas are. Mine turned out a very dark brown colour because my bananas were almost black.
