How to Make Banana Split In A Jar

  1. Mash 3 ripe bananas immediately. Add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to prevent browning.
  2. In a large pot, combine the mashed bananas with 1 cup sliced strawberries, 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 cup chopped maraschino cherries, and 1 tablespoon liquid pectin.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar.
  5. Increase heat to high and bring to a rolling boil. Boil hard for exactly 1 minute.
  6. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (or pecans) and 1 tablespoon banana rum (optional).
  7. Ladle the mixture into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude).
  9. Let jars cool completely. Check seals and store in a cool, dark place.
