Guiltless Banana Split In A Jar Recipes

Steps:

• Cut a small piece off the curved side of 4 unpeeled bananas so they'll sit level, then make a deep slit down the center of each through the peel; place on separate sheets of foil. Open the slits and brush the inside of each banana with melted butter, then sprinkle with sugar and 1 ounce chopped semisweet chocolate; fold up the foil. Grill the packets over high heat until the chocolate melts, 6 to 8 minutes (don't worry if the peel turns brown). Open the peels and top the bananas with ice cream, whipped cream, sprinkles and a cherry.

Steps:

• Mix lemon juice into bananas immediately after mashing to retain the fresh color then combine all the fruit and the pectin in a big pot.
• Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar (and a dab of butter to reduce foaming). Bring to a rolling boil; boil hard one minute. Remove from heat and add nuts and rum (if using).
• Ladle into jars leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
• Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.

Steps:

• place half of the banana slices in the bottom of each jar.
• top each with 1/3 cup of frozen yogurt, then 1 tablespoon each of chocolate syrup.
• finish with the whipped cream and top with a cherry and grab a spoon and dig in.
