Banana Jam

[The Innkeeper]

we had a surplus of overripe bananas any my lovely bride as looking forward to trying something new. I found her a recipe for banana jam online. She made up a batch and it’s my new fav. Goes great on toast and PB for breakfast. I have never seen it in a store or at a farmers market so it was totally new to us

Well, share the recipe. It something I'd never have thought/heard of. Wonder if there is a banana butter, as in apple butter type of goodie.

I picked up a bunch of cheap bananas from thee store this week and made the Caramel Banana Jam. Its more like a 'butter' but good on biscuits or even making banana bread.

Sounds good, but the hubs is allergic to bananas. I can only eat 2 or 3 a week. I'd rather have an apple.

As requested, the recipe. If I know my Mrs she undoubtedly modified slightly to taste, for example she used less lemon juice but I am not sure how much.it is much like a butter in texture but. I like it

I thought this ...

It was orinally done in the 1920s

 

[UncleJoe]

Never heard of that one.

Certainly does bear a resemblance. Sounds like Chapin took the title line and turned it into a completely different song.
