Ingredients

  • 5 ripe bananas, no brown spots
  • 1 (20 ounce) can crushed pineapple (with the juice)
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoons bottled lemon juice (to assure acidity)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut (natural or sweetened)
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a saucepan slicing bananas over the top. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking. Continue stirring and mashing your fruit to get a thick consistency; about 20-30 minutes.
  2. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Using a chopstick or plastic knife, pop any air bubbles. Wipe rims spotlessly clean and place a sealing lid on top the jar. Place your lid and rings on finger tight and process in a water bath canner for 15 minutes for pint jars and 10 minutes for half-pint jars.
  3. If jar lid seals it will easily keep for one year in a cool, dark place. If jar doesn't seal, place it in your refrigerator and eat within 3 months, or within one month of opening.
  4. Note: Product may turn a light pink hue.
