So, this sits well canned in jars for a length of time?? Or does it have to be refrigerated??

Hi.. A good Recipe.. I suggest adding a pinch of Sodium Benzoate which would act as a wonderful preservative.

Our banana tree just bestowed almost 100 bananas upon us this week! After donating to the neighbors we still have more than a dozen so this sounds right up my alley. My question is this: how long will this keep in the refrigerator? I’d like to make a few batches to make holiday gifts but that’s a month from now. Thanks for the terrific idea!

This was fast and easy. I generally put overripe bananas in the freezer until I have enough to make something. This was that perfect recipe. I made almost 4 half pints.

A few years back I was given a case of very rip banannas. Yes I made lots of things but one thing I did was cook the banannas down as in the receipe above but I also added some strawberrys to them aprox 1 strawberry to 1 bananna sorry I had no receipe just kinda did with what I had. But I did end up with a nice strawberry / bannana jam that I just kept in the frig instead of canning. Was well enjoyed favoorites were milkshakes, pancakes and ice cream. Hope this gives a few more ideas. will definatly be trying this receipe

Fifteen years ago I found a banana jam recipe in my grandmother’s 19th century cook book. Not everything is new under the sun, hey?!
Banana and Orange Jam
12 good size bananas, peeled and sliced
Weigh and add 12 ounces of sugar for every lb of bananas
Add pulp and juice of 6 oranges and 4 lemons
Let it all cook slowly for 45 minutes
Pour in jars and cover.

Enjoy!
