If you have alot of ripe bananas and need to do something with them besides make banana bread this is good for canning some. Use it on toast, pancakes, bagals whatever you like.

1/2 cup Lemon Juice
3 cups Sugar
1 tsp Butter

3 1/2 lbs (about 10 med.) ripe Bananas mashed to



1 Mix well. Bring to a hard rolling boil. Stir constantly. Reduce heat simmering gently uncovered for 20 minutes, stirring constantly.
2 Ladle into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/8-inch head space. Process in a water bater for 10 minutes.

Have you ever put up peach butter? It is good as well. You can use both on ice cream, bread, pancakes,etc.

Wow, that banana butter sounds great. I don't know if I will get to try it though because my kids love bananas and they don't seem to go bad around here. Sometimes I will put a few away just to make bread!!
