Ripe bananas - 430g peeled weight (4 large ones) cut into chunks
280g sugar
Juice of 2 oranges
Juice of 1 lemon
Place all ingredients into TMX bowl and cook for 45 minutes 100oon speed 1.
Stores for up to a month in the fridge.
Tip - mine wasn't thick enough at this stage so I removed the MC and turned the temperature to Varoma and cooked it another 15 minutes. Perhaps if the MC is left off during the entire cooking, it would thicken up more quickly so I would suggest you try that first then turn it to varoma for a while longer if necessary, checking every now and then until you are happy with the consistency.
It's a nice jam, something different.

Thanks JD - one for those people ( MRS T ARE YOU LISTENING ??) who don't like bananas with a brown spot on them :-)) :-)) :-))
-
I've never heard of banana jam JD, but it sounds very yummy. Do you use it just like berry jams - on scones etc.
Chelsea :)
-
Yes, use it like any sort of jam Chelsea.
-
Wow - thanks for this. I too, have never heard of it but looooove my bananas!
-
Our lemon butter supply is running low so I think I'll try this.

Judydawn,I have had 4 banana's sitting here for a couple of days now and decided tonight I was going to make your banana jam cos it sounded so interesting.I even made some little paper labels which I printed out for these 2 small jars I made.I had a little taste test as I poured them into the sterilised jars and it was so sweet,very nice.Cant wait to have some on a sammy tomorrow. :) Btw,was it supposed to come out this sort of colour?

Looks the goods to me - luv the happy monkey eating his bowl of banana jam

Looks like banana jam to me Thermie007. When I used to make it on the stovestop it was this colour but when I did it in the TMX it had a pinky tinge to it so guess whatever colour it comes out is OK as long as it tastes good. Presentation looks great.
-
It looks cute Thermie007.Let us know how yours tastes.

You kids are so clever with your photos. I have the technology but not the know how. If I had an hour to fiddle I would probably be able to do a photo from my camera. I know I will probably find a thread here somewhere explaining how to add a photo. I must admit -- whenever there is a photo now, it makes me want to make something more.

Is the orange and lemon essential? DH is allergic to citrus. Why is their lemon in just about every jam recipe? I always leave it out of my strawberry jam, and it works fine. But this recipe seems to have quite a bit of juice in it. Would apple juice work? Or maybe mango? Hey, that sounds good - banana and mango jam ;D
-
Citrus contains lot's of natural pectin, which is why it is in many jam recipes. It helps to set your jams. :)
-
In this case too, maybe it helps keep the bananas from going dark. Just a guess though.

Exactly. You can use jamsetta or jam sugar to avoid having to use the lemon juice.
-
Thanks, now I know why it's always been so hard to buy jam that DH can eat!. Will have to try this banana jam sometime as he loves banana on toast with sugar, so this should be popular.
-
Pear jam, quince jam shouldn't need lemon juice either.

It was delicious Cookie and Im going to be making some more today.Im going to do a few extras to give to my parents as well.
-
I have a question, hope someone can help me, do I use over ripe bananas for this (like the ones I use in banana bread) or do they need to be just normal ripe bananas. Looking forward to making this for Christmas presents.

I'm not sure willmac but I wouldn't use them too over-ripe. If you wouldn't eat them, I wouldn't make jam with them. Soft but not squishy I would say.
-
I made this today, so good, thanks for the recipe. I made this without the MC in place and cooked for the time the recipe stated and it thickened up nicely. Tasted soooooooo good.
-
I still haven't made this. Today Coles have bananas at $2.25 a kilo. Might run down and get some. It would be nice to have a different jam on our toast Christmas morning.
-
Bananas have been $1.25 so I've been buying two kilos every few day and freezing one. Stocking up!
-
My banana jam recipe is almost the same just no OJ. My recipe calls for 'old,mushy bananas, similar to those you would use for a banana cake.' My fusspot fam didn't like it on scones or toast (must have been the colour) so I put it to good use by warming it and spreading it as a topping for banana cake. When cool the cake has a lovely jelly top (can sprinkle with extra Cinnamon) - they loved it that way. ;)
-
Isn't it funny how things are yuk in one place and if you put them in another (eg on the cake) everyone likes them. My mob are the same.
-
MrsT and my staff HATE !!!!!! yoghurt - but LOVE !!!!!!! tzatziki - yoghurt and cucumber - :o :o ??? ???
-
I made this one last week - I replaced the lemons with limes... and left the MC off for the whole process.
it thickened up beautifully, and yielded two 250g jars of Jam.
Utterly delicious, and definitely a regular in our house now :-)
-
Isn't everyone glad that bananas are so cheap now? Remember when they were almost $20 a kilo after the cyclone in Queensland?? Of course, the only fruit my kids would eat at that time was bananas- the little sods!!!
-
I made this today!! Very Yum, smelt wonderful cooking and tastes fantastic!! Thanks for the recipe!!
