Banana Jam Recipe
Ingredients:
12 cups sliced bananas (about 20 medium)
6 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups orange juice
3 strips orange peel
6 strips lemon peel
2 sticks cinnamon
6 whole cloves
To make:
In a large kettle, combine sliced bananas with sugar, orange juice,
orange and lemon peels, cinnamon and cloves. Stir over medium heat
until sugar dissolves. Boil rapidly 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer,
stirring constantly, until thickened, about 15 to 20 minutes. When
jam is thick, remove from heat and ladle immediately into sterilized
canning jars. Fill to within 1/8 inch of top. Screw caps on evenly and
tightly. Invert for few seconds, then stand jars upright to cool. If jam
is to be stored for long period, place jars on rack in large kettle and
cover with boiling water. Boil 10 to 15 minutes to sterilize. Remove
from water and cool. Makes about 5 pints.
