MONKEY BANANA JAM
This is a family favorite. It's very good on toast, especially beer-bread toast. (Recipes available from this site.) Try it with peanut butter for a great sandwich. You can also use it to top ice cream. It's popular with banana-lovers young and old. This can be frozen, but it will darken. As written, it's fine, but you can experiment with spices too. Cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, lemon/orange peel are all good candidates. Pick one or two for variety.

Steps:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Note: Product may turn a light pink hue.

Steps:
- Peel the bananas and place them in a medium sized bowl. Use a fork to roughly 'chop' them up. Drizzle the lemon juice over them, and set the bowl aside.
- Add the water to a medium-large sized skillet over medium-high heat. Add in the sugar, whisking consistently to dissolve, and bring the sugar water to a low boil.
- Whisk in the bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, and rum.
- Reduce to low heat, and allow the mixture to gently simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, and mashing up the bananas as it cooks.
- The syrup will thicken up nicely as it cooks, up until it easily coats the back of a spoon. At this point, transfer the syrup into glass mason jars and refrigerate. The mixture will continue to thicken as it cools. Spread it over toast, a generous dollop over a stack of pancakes, or over several scoops of vanilla ice cream.
