Banana Jam
Surprisingly delicious on toast, biscuits, peanut butter sandwiches, and French toast!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
- 5 medium ripe or overripe bananas
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoons Myers's Dark Rum
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
- Add sugar and water to a large heat-safe glass bowl, and cover with microwave-safe food service wrap. Poke about 10 holes in the food service wrap. Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Add bananas to a large pan and heat on medium. Add remaining ingredients to pan and cook. Mash, but leave some chunks. After the 10 minutes in the microwave, cook for 2 minutes at a time until sugar is a pretty caramel color. Bananas are done when they are slightly translucent and reddish. Add caramelized sugar to the pan, and cook for several minutes. Keep in a glass jar for several weeks (although ours is usually gone in several days)
