Sig's Banana Jam
- 1 kg over ripe soft bananas, peeled, cut into chunks.
- 735 grams sugar, warmed
- 100 ml fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla sugar
- 1 sprig of basil (optional)
- chop bananas and place in a pan with the juice and the sugars, bring to boil removing any scum forming
- cook over medium heat for 30 minutes ,then reduce heat ,stirring often for about 20 minutes
- you can shorten this time if you want it like here on picture or you can let it become clearer and a slightly rusty colour.Keep removing the scum.
- Spoon immediately into clean, warm jars and seal , turn jars upside down for about two minutes.
- Jam will keep for about 6-12 month, once opened for 6 weeks
- makes two jars.
- I like to add finely shredded basil over the jam_,but that is just me
