Banana Jam

Ingredients

• 3 cups white sugar
• 1 cup water
• 6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 3 1/2 cups mashed banana
• 1 tablespoon whole cloves
• 6 half pint canning jars with lids and rings

Directions

1. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, and boil for 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice, mashed banana, and cloves. Reduce heat to low; simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 45 minutes. Strain to remove cloves.
