Drunken Monkey Jam

Ingredients:

3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons rum (dark or spiced rum works well)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:

Prepare the Bananas:

Peel and mash the ripe bananas in a medium-sized bowl.
Drizzle the lemon juice over the bananas.
Combine Ingredients:

In a medium-large skillet, add the water and the sugars, whisking until the sugar dissolves. Bring to a low boil.
Add the mashed bananas, vanilla, cinnamon, and rum.
Reduce to low heat, and allow the mixture to gently simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Thicken the Jam:

As it cooks, the syrup will thicken. Mash the bananas further as needed.
Continue cooking until the syrup coats the back of a spoon.
Cool and Store:

Transfer the jam to sterilized glass jars.
Let it cool completely before refrigerating.
Important Notes:

Bananas: Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
Acidity: Lemon juice is essential for flavor and safety in jam making.
Alcohol: The alcohol flavor will mellow during cooking, but it will still be present.
Storage: This recipe is often for refrigerator jam, not for long term canning, due to the lower acidity of bananas. So it is best to store this in the refrigerator.
Variations: Feel free to add other spices (like nutmeg) or fruits (like pineapple) to customize the flavor.
I hope this helps!
