I kinda posted the Apple Butter in the wrong place, but no more! Patti, since you've got your new banana tree's maybe you can try this when you get to harvest some bananas.
Banana Butter
1 cup mashed banana
1 cup canned crushed pineapple in juice
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped maraschino cherries
3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
3 ounces liquid pectin
Directions
1 Measure first 5 ingredients into large saucepan. Heat and stir constantly as you bring to a rolling boil. Boil 1 minute. Remove from heat.
2 Stir in pectin. Stir and skim for 5 minutes so fruit won't float. Pour into hot sterilized half pint jars to within 1/4 inch of top. Place sterilized metal lids on jars and screw metal bands on securely. For added assurance against spillage, you may choose to process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.
