Banana Jam-A Refrigerator Spread

I just had to make some Banana Jam as soon as I saw it! Picked up reduced brown bananas at the supermarket and figure 3 1/2 jelly jars cost me about $1 total-gotta love that. Several recipes I saw said you could can it using a water bath if you mashed the bananas very smooth and added the called for lemon or lime juice. I whipped up a batch yesterday, it tasted great and stayed a nice light color. I was happy:@)

What I noticed this morning was, the jars I processed in the water bath separated over night.

This did not make me happy.

Do I still suggest trying it?

Yes, but because of this development, I recommend making a half batch and storing it in the fridge.
The jam in the fridge stayed very nice and is good on a bagel with either peanut butter or cream cheese.

Mix everything in pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes. Store in sterilized jars in the fridge. 

Keep trying new things and have a happy day:@)
