Ingredients
- 5 large ripe bananas
- 20 oz canned crushed pineapple (with juice)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 3 tbsp lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and cut them into small slices. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the sliced bananas, crushed pineapple (with its juice), granulated sugar, shredded sweetened coconut, and lemon juice.
Step 3
Place the pot over medium heat and stir the mixture continuously until the sugar dissolves completely.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Stir frequently to prevent sticking or burning on the bottom of the pot.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and simmer the mixture for about 20-25 minutes or until it thickens to a jam-like consistency. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Step 6
Once thickened, remove the pot from heat and let the Monkey Butter cool slightly.
Step 7
Transfer the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal with lids and allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature.
Step 8
Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process the jars in a water bath canner for long-term storage.
