20 min | 20 min prep
4 cups
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (about one medium lime)
- 3 1/2 cups diced firm ripe bananas
- 2 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- Place lime juice in a one quart measure.
- Peel bananas and dice directly into lime juice.
- Stir with a wooden spoon.
- Keep stirring as you dice each banana into the lime juice to prevent darkening.
- Measure sugar and water into a wide 2½ quart saucepan, and stir to dissolve sugar as you bring syrup to a boil.
- Cover tightly for the first 2 minutes (so the steam will wash sugar crystals from side of saucepan) then uncover, add bananas (with lime) and boil over low heat for about 30 minutes or until thick.
- Stir often to prevent sticking, especially during last 10 minutes.
- Jam is done when a spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves a track that closes slowly, or when jam mounds while stirring.
- Spoon at once into hot sterilized jars and seal.
- Do not use paraffin with this jam.
