Pineapple Mango Banana Habanero Jam - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    25 ounces pineapple, cut into wedges
    25 ounces mangoes, cut into small chunks
    5 ounces bananas, sliced
    1/4 cup water
    2 fresh limes, halved
    6 cups sugar
    6 habanero peppers, halved and seeded
    4 1/2 ounces liquid pectin
Preparation
    Cut all of the fruits as directed, and place the mango and banana in a blender with 1/4 cup water to blend.
    Mix the blended mango and banana and the pineapple chunks in a pot and mash with a potato masher.
    Set the pot on medium heat, adding freshly squeezed lime juice from two limes.
    Bring the pot to a slow boil and add the sugar and pectin.
    Once boiling, add the habanero halves and allow to boil for another 3-5 minutes.
    Discard 5 of the habaneros (10 halves in total), and mince the remaining habanero (i.e. two halves) and add back to the mixture.
    Ladle the jam into sterilized canning jars (leaving 1/4 inch head room) and boil for 10+ minutes depending on altitude and jar size.
    Allow to cool on a wire rack.
