Banana Jam

Ingredients

• 6 large bananas (22 to 24 ounces, post-peeling), broken in half
  
• 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
  
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  
• Juice of 2 limes
  
• 2 tablespoons water
  
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  
• 1 tablespoon dark rum
  
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  

Directions

1. Combine the bananas and sugars in a medium pot. Mash with a fork until the fruit is chunky and the sugar syrupy. Set over medium-low heat and bring to a simmer. Add the lime juice, water, and salt. Continue to cook at a steady simmer—stirring occasionally—for about 10 minutes, until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in the rum and vanilla.
2. Spoon the hot jam into jars. I just seal with a lid and keep in the fridge—but sterilize if you'd like.
