Banana and Apple Jam
Description
Homemade preserves keep well for a long time. It turns out that even from such exotic and, it would seem, unsuitable fruits as bananas, you can easily make delicious jam. I first tried it quite recently at a friend's house, and I liked it so much that I decided to make it myself, but so the taste would not be overly sweet, I added apples as well. The result was simply wonderful jam with a very interesting and mild flavor; it keeps excellently, and in winter you can use it both for tea and as a filling, for example, for pie. So with this recipe for banana and apple jam, you will have no trouble coming up with a tasty treat for your loved ones or an unusual treat for guests. 1) So, first we thoroughly wash the apples under water, peel them and remove the cores. Cut the apples into small pieces and place them in a saucepan; add water. Put the saucepan on the heat, bring the liquid to a boil, and cook the apples until they become soft. 2) While the apples simmer gently, we peel and slice the bananas. As soon as the apples soften, add sugar and the sliced bananas to them. 3) Continue cooking for a few more minutes until the sugar crystals are completely dissolved, then puree all the ingredients with a blender. Cook the apple-banana puree over low heat for 20 minutes. 4) When the time is up, divide the jam among sterilized jars and seal them. As you can see, everything here is simpler than simple, and making banana and apple jam at home is not difficult at all, so be sure to make a couple of jars for winter. Store in a cool, dark place.
