Banana Split In A Jar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups mashed bananas
1/2 cup lemon juice
2 cups crushed strawberries
1 1/2 cups crushed pineapple
1 cup halved maraschino cherry
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered pectin
5 cups sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup banana rum (optional)

Preparation

Mix lemon juice into bananas immediately after mashing to retain the fresh color then combine all the fruit and the pectin in a big pot.
Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add sugar (and a dab of butter to reduce foaming). Bring to a rolling boil; boil hard one minute. Remove from heat and add nuts and rum (if using).
Ladle into jars leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to your altitude.
