Banana Jam Recipe
I recently discovered Banana Jam and I was pleasantly blown away by how good it is! I have never thought of using overripe bananas to make jam until now as jams are commonly made with berries, such as strawberry jam. I have made all kinds of banana bread, soft and fluffy banana cake, banana pancakes, fried bananas, banana crumb muffins, etc. Today I am going to share an easy and delicious banana jam recipe with you. I adapted the recipe from Food52, but with my own spin. The end result is absolutely delicious and it’s great on morning toasts!

How To Make Banana Jam
Just like most fruity jams, banana jam is very easy to make and calls for only a few simple steps. First, mash the overripe bananas with a fork or a masher until they become chunky. To make the jam, cook the mashed bananas over medium-low heat until the mixture becomes soft and a bit watery. Add sugar, brown sugar, fresh lime juice, salt and some ground cinnamon. When the banana jam thickens, it’s ready!
What Goes Well With Banana Jam
This sweet and aromatic banana preserves go well with the following:
Toasts As a topping on banana bread, banana cake, banana nut muffins, pancakes or waffles As a spread on warm English scones or muffins As a filling for French crepe
