This sweet and fragrant Monkey Jam combines ripe bananas, lime, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugars to create a delicious, spreadable treat that’s perfect for toast, pancakes, or as a topping for desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 large ripe bananas 🍌
  • Juice of 1 lime 🍋
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar 🍚
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar 🍯
  • 3/4 cup water 💧
  • 1 tsp vanilla 🍨
  • 1 tsp cinnamon 🌟

Instructions

  1. Prep the Bananas:
    Chop the bananas into a bowl and drizzle them with lime juice to prevent browning. Set aside. 🍌🍋
  2. Make the Syrup:
    In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and water. Stir until the sugars dissolve and the mixture comes to a gentle boil. 🍯💧
  3. Cook the Jam:
    Add the bananas, vanilla, and cinnamon to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the bananas as they soften. 🍌🍨🌟
  4. Thicken the Jam:
    Continue cooking until the mixture thickens and is no longer runny, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. 🍯
  5. Store and Cool:
    Transfer the hot jam into a clean jar and let it cool. Refrigerate for storage—it will thicken further as it chills.

Notes

  • The jam will thicken as it cools, so be sure to let it rest in the fridge before serving.
  • Adjust the sweetness or cinnamon to your preference by adding more or less of either ingredient.
