Ingredients

• 4 medium (about 500 g total) Apples
• 2 large (about 250 g total) Bananas
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 120 ml (1/2 cup) Water
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash, peel, and core the apples. Dice them into small pieces.

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them into thin rounds.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, combine the diced apples, sliced bananas, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and water.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The fruit pieces should soften and begin to break down.

Step 6

If desired, add ground cinnamon during the last 5 minutes of cooking for an extra layer of flavor.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture to your desired consistency — smooth or slightly chunky.

Step 8

Return the mixture to a simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken, stirring occasionally.

Step 9

Test the jam for doneness by spooning a small amount onto a chilled plate. If it thickens and holds its shape, it’s ready. If not, simmer for another few minutes and test again.

Step 10

Transfer the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature.

Step 11

Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process in a water bath for long-term storage.
