How to Make Banana Jam

  1. Peel and slice 3 ripe bananas.
  2. In a blender, combine the sliced bananas, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a pinch of ground cinnamon.
  3. Blend until completely smooth.
  4. Pour the banana mixture into a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency. (The jam will thicken further as it cools.)
  6. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
