Banana Split in a Jar




Source of Recipe


N/A


List of Ingredients




2 cups mashed bananas

1/2 cup lemon juice

2 cups crushed strawberries

1 1/2 cups crushed pineapple

1 cup halved maraschino cherries

1 package powdered pectin

5 cups sugar

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

optional: 1/2 cup banana rum (or dark rum)

Recipe




Mix lemon juice into bananas immediately after mashing to retain the fresh color then combine all the fruit

and the pectin in a big pot.

Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar (and a dab of butter to reduce foaming).

Bring to a rolling boil; boil hard one minute. Remove from heat and add nuts and rum (if using).

Ladle into jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath 15 minutes.

(This is actually my pressure canner, which I’ve started using also for boiling water bath canning.

I don’t tighten down the lid as in pressure canning, of course. I just set the lid on top.

I like the rack better in my pressure canner.)

Serve over ice cream with whipped cream and chocolate syrup!
