Ingredients

• 4 large ripe bananas
• 2 medium orange
• 1 medium lemon
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Peel the bananas and mash them thoroughly in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Set aside.

Step 2

Wash the orange and lemon thoroughly. Use a grater or zester to zest both fruits and set the zest aside. Then, cut the fruits in half and juice them into a small bowl, straining out seeds if necessary.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, combine the mashed bananas, orange and lemon juice, zests, sugar, and water. Stir well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. The marmalade should thicken and achieve a glossy consistency. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the pan as needed.

Step 6

When the marmalade reaches your desired thickness, remove it from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 7

Allow the marmalade to cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars. Seal the jars tightly and let them cool completely to room temperature.

Step 8

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or process in a water bath for longer shelf life. Enjoy your Banana Marmalade on toast, biscuits, or as a dessert topping!
