How to Make Bananas Foster Jam

  1. Combine 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon stevia, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  2. Cook without stirring until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture slightly thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Meanwhile, mash 3 ripe bananas with 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Gently stir the mashed banana mixture into the simmering syrup.
  5. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring frequently, for 25 minutes, or until the jam reaches your desired consistency. It should thicken as it cools.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of dark rum (optional, can omit for non-alcoholic version).
  7. Let the jam cool completely before transferring it to a sterilized jar. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set.
  8. Enjoy your homemade Bananas Foster Jam on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream!
