Rosy Peach And Banana Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Mix peaches, bananas, cherries, and lemon juice into a large saucepan.
• Mix pectin into fruit in pan.
• Stir and cook over high heat until mixture comes to a full rolling boil (one that can't be stirred down).
• Add and stir in the sugar.
• Bring to a full rolling boil once again.
• Stir constantly and boil. Boil rapidly for one minute.
• Remove from heat.
• Skim off foam.
• Stir and skim for about 5 minutes allowing mixture to cool slightly and prevent floating fruit.
• Ladle into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
• Make sure jar rims are clean and cover with two piece metal lids and rings.
• Hot water bath for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine the peaches, bananas, cherries, lemon juice, and fruit pectin in a large Dutch oven; stir well. Place over high heat and bring to a boil stirring frequently; quickly stir in sugar.
• Once it comes back to a boil, boil for 1 minute or until mixture reaches 220°F on a candy thermometer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off surface with a metal spoon.
• Quickly ladle into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/8-inch head space. Cover at once with the lids and screw on bands tight.
• Process in boiling water bath for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Thaw bananas if frozen. (I often store up my overripe bananas in a freezer bag in the freezer until I have enough to make something.).
• Peel bananas, and mash smooth.
• Mix water, lime juice, sugars, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger over medium heat and stir until thickened.
• Add mashed bananas and let cook 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add rum during the last few minutes of cooking.
• Place hot banana jam into sterilized jars. Place lids on and seal.

Steps:

• Combine bananas, lemon juice and 3 cups sugar in a pan and let stand 1 hour.
• After 1 hr, add remaining sugar and place pan over medium-high heat; stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved.
• Bring mix to a boil for two minutes.
• Remove pan from flame and skim off any foam.
• Place pan over heat again for 1 minute.
• boil.
• Again, remove and skim off foam.
• Add butter and bring mix to a boil again.
• Add pectin and stir constantly.
• Boil 1 minute.
• Skim off foam.
• Allow jam to cool for 7 min before adding to canning jars.
• Wipe jar edges with a clean cloth, place lids and screw on bands fingertip-tight.
• Close jars and process in a boiling water bath for 10 min to create seal.
• Remove from water and place on a cloth-protected counter to cool undisturbed for 24 hours.
• Check for seal; re-process unsealed jars or refrigerate and use first.

Steps:

• Place lime juice in a one quart measure.
• Peel bananas and dice directly into lime juice.
• Stir with a wooden spoon.
• Keep stirring as you dice each banana into the lime juice to prevent darkening.
• Measure sugar and water into a wide 2½ quart saucepan, and stir to dissolve sugar as you bring syrup to a boil.
• Cover tightly for the first 2 minutes (so the steam will wash sugar crystals from side of saucepan) then uncover, add bananas (with lime) and boil over low heat for about 30 minutes or until thick.
• Stir often to prevent sticking, especially during last 10 minutes.
• Jam is done when a spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves a track that closes slowly, or when jam mounds while stirring.
• Fill hot, sterilized jars quickly with the hot jelly or jam mixture, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
• Wipe the sealing surface of the jars with a clean paper towel, dampened with hot water, to remove any jam or sugar crystals.
• Place lids, screw on bands finger-tight and process jars for 10 minutes in boiling water bath.
• Cool jars upright for 12-24 hours while vacuum seal is drawn and jam or jelly sets up. Let the jars sit undisturbed while they cool.
