A sweet and slightly boozy banana jam that’s perfect for toast, pancakes, or desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup rum
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel the bananas and mash them in a bowl until smooth, but a few small chunks are okay for texture.
  2. In a saucepan, combine the mashed bananas, sugar, rum, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally. The mixture will start to bubble and thicken – this should take about 15-20 minutes.
  4. Once thickened to your liking, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool for a bit.
  5. Pour the cooled jam into a clean jar and store it in the refrigerator.

Notes

For a smoother consistency, blend the mixture after cooking. Store in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or freeze for up to three months.
