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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into coins, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the brown sugar, water, and cinnamon to the saucepan, stirring until the sugar dissolves and forms a smooth caramel base.
Step 4
Carefully add the banana slices to the caramel mixture and gently stir to coat them.
Step 5
Cook for 5-7 minutes until the bananas start to break down and the mixture thickens slightly.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove from heat and allow the jam to cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring it to sterilized jars.
Step 9
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve warm or cold on toast, pancakes, or as a dessert topping.
