Ingredients
  

Banana Jam Ingredients
  • 4 large Bananas Very ripe for best flavor
  • 1 cup Sugar Adjust based on ripeness of bananas
  • 1/4 cup Rum Optional, for non-alcoholic use orange juice
  • 1 teaspoon Freshly Grated Nutmeg For a fragrant spice note
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice Balances sweetness
  • 1/4 cup Water For cooking down the ingredients

Equipment

  • Heavy-bottomed pot

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Peel and slice the very ripe bananas into uniform pieces, roughly 1/2-inch thick. Place into a heavy-bottomed pot.
  2. Add the sugar, rum, freshly grated nutmeg, lime juice, and water to the pot with the sliced bananas. Stir well to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Turn up the heat to medium and cook the mixture until it reaches a gentle boil, stirring occasionally.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring intermittently.
  5. Remove the pot from heat once the jam has thickened. Let it cool before transferring to glass jars.
