I pondered to myself, "Self, " I sez, "Is there such a thing as Banana Jam?" So I decided to Google "Banana Jam".
I was expecting at least one rock band web site and a couple of porn sites but NO, I got banana jam websites and recipes as below. Hmmm, a project for another day, bananas don't usually last to the over ripe stage at this house.
Banana Jam
2 lbs ripe bananas (1 Kg)
3 3/4 Cup brown sugar (750 g)(That sounds like a LOT of sugar)
1 1/3 Cup water (3 dl)
juice of 3 limes (or lemons)
1 teaspoon cinnamon (1 cc)
3 tablespoons of pure vanilla extract (or use real vanilla beans) (1 cs)
1 dash of ginger powder (I'm note crazy about ginger, but maybe shredded fresh ginger would be nice)
1/4 Cup of rum (1/2 dl)
Peel and mash the bananas.
Mix water, lime juice, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, ginger over moderate heat and stir until syrup thickens. Add the mashed bananas and let cook 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add rum during the last few minutes of cooking to let alcohol burn off. Immediately place in jam jars and seal.

You know that there are different sorts of bananas. I knew some people from Africa back in the days and they saied unisono that what we here in Europe eat and venerate (?) as banana is something different from what tehy have at home.
Banana on Butterbrot is a breakfast here.
Yeah we are zeroed in Chiquita banana here, I would love to taste some of the different flavored ones but it it don't come here, we don't get to buy it. R
