Ingredients
-
1000 g ripe bananas, peeled
-
280 g white sugar
-
280 g brown sugar
-
Juice of 3 limes
-
Cinnamon
Instructions
-
Slice the bananas into rounds and place them in a large mixing bowl.
-
Add both sugars, the cinnamon stick, and the lime juice, then mix thoroughly to coat the fruit evenly.
-
Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and let it rest for 1 hour, or move straight to cooking if you prefer.
-
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low and simmer gently.
-
Keep an eye on the cooking time – it should not exceed 30 minutes.
-
Test for setting by placing a few drops of jam on a very cold spoon: if it runs, cook a little longer and repeat the test.
-
Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars immediately.
-
Seal tightly and turn the jars upside down to create a vacuum seal.
-
Allow to cool completely, then store in a cool, dry, dark place.
-
Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 2–3 weeks.
