Hello guys, I hope this tasty sweet recipe will help cheer up your weekend. All you need is ripe bananas, sugar, orange juice and some lemon juice or pineapple juice. That’s all. Very easy recipe! Even a child can attempt and why not you? Let’s see the recipe now.
Priya's Banana Jam
Ingredients Needed:
5 ripe bananas
3 Tbsp fresh lime juice/pineapple juice
1 cup fresh orange juice or water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla essence(optional)
A pinch of salt
Cooking Method:
First, you have to peel the bananas and slice thinly or mash with a fork. Then place the mashed bananas in a heavy saucepan with the limejuice, orange juice, sugar, vanilla essence and salt, and bring to a boil.
Now you need to reduce the heat and gently simmer the banana jam until thick for about 30 minutes, stirring often. Then allow cooling a little to room temperature, before pouring into warm, dry jars.
The jars should be sterilized and clean before you pour in the jam and seal. You can store the jam in a cool dry place. Don’t forget to refrigerate, once the jam is opened. This will keep good for many weeks.
I am sure you all will like this banana jam with a tinge of orangy taste, in your sandwiches. To enrich the taste, you can mix in cardamom powder(elaichi) to the boiled mixture. This is only optional, as some people may not like the smell of cardamom. I like it a lot that I even add it to my coffee or tea!
Hope you enjoy making this delicious sweet treat this weekend. Have a great weekend! Have lots of fun!
