Strawberry-Banana Jam

Filed Under: Jam, Seasonal Summer Tagged With: Banana, Honey, Pomona Pectin, Strawberries

Strawberry Banana Jam 2001

Home-canned Strawberry-Banana jam offers a delicious combination of these two fruits.

It also offers a rare opportunity to experience banana in a home-canned product: banana can be difficulty to can safely, as it’s a low-acid, dense fruit, but Pomona Pectin has developed this safe, tested recipe for incorporating banana into a jam.

There will be some bubbles in the jam owing to the texture of the banana, but don’t let the canning appearance snobs put you off making this: it’s delicious.

Try this: a piece of toast, with a thin layer of peanut butter spread on it, and then topped with a dollop of this jam. Yum.

You can make this with honey, or you can make it sugar-free.

Per 2 tablespoons, this is 34 calories when made with honey and 17 calories when made sugar-free.

Recipe notes

  • For the banana, you’ll want about 2 ½ large ones.
  • If using frozen strawberries, just zap in microwave for about 2 minutes to quickly thaw them. Include all juice that comes off them after thawing in your measurements.
  • Pomona pectin comes with a small pouch of powdered calcium for you to mix with water to make calcium water.
  • The pectin powder will clump if you just mix it straight in; that’s why you mix it with something first.

Quote of the day

“…spoilage isn’t necessary when canning is no longer a matter of hit-and-miss luck, but a careful science, and when every home canner can have help from reliable sources.”
