How to Make Banana Nut Bread Jam

  1. Mash 3 ripe bananas in a large saucepan.
  2. Add 1 cup chopped walnuts, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon powdered pectin. Mix well.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar and ½ cup brown sugar all at once. Stir vigorously.
  5. Continue to stir continuously and bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil. Maintain a rolling boil for exactly 1 minute.
  6. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam.
  7. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
  8. Wipe the rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten fingertip tight.
  9. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for accurate times).
  10. Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Makes approximately 3 half-pint jars.
