Banana Jam (or spread)     Print this Recipe

Comments

Create the new "jam" to spread on toast, muffins, or nut butter sandwiches!  Simply mash a banana and add some lemon juice. That's it!  It's delicious and there's no added sugar.  Your kids will love it.  We got this great idea from a youth counselor at a YMCA!

Here's what the Kid Kritics had to say: "Tastes so good, more than the world.  Seconds, PLEASE!  I loved it.  Exquisitive.  Supreme, delicious, delightful.  Tastes like a rainbow with golden flowers and a bird landing on it .  I didn’t like it, I LOVED it!!!"

Instructions

1. 1 banana, ripe

2. 1/2 tsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed

   Stir into banana. Use in place of jam, jelly, or preserves as a spread. For best results, use immediately. You may cover and store in the refrigerator, but it will start to brown on the surface exposed to air.
