->Banana Butter <-

3 cups (about 10 medium) bananas

1/4 cup lemon juice

6-1/2 cups sugar

1 bottle (6 oz) liquid pectin

Thoroughly mash bananas. Measure 3 cups bananas into a large

saucepan. Add lemon juice and sugar; mix well. Bring to a hard

rolling boil; boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove

from heat; quickly stir in pectin. Ladle into clean, hot jars.

Seal. Makes 8 or 9 half-pints.

I have added 2 drops of yellow food coloring to a batch. It is

good as a sauce on ice cream.
