Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium ripe bananas
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cups water
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into coins, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the brown sugar, water, and cinnamon to the saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth caramel base.
Carefully add the banana slices to the caramel mixture and gently stir to coat them.
Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bananas start to break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the dark rum, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Be cautious as the rum may sizzle when added.
Return the saucepan to medium heat and continue cooking for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches a jam-like consistency.
Remove from heat and allow the jam to cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve warm or cold on toast, pancakes, or as a dessert topping.
