Begin by peeling and chopping the bananas. Place them in a bowl, squeeze the lime juice over them, and gently toss to coat. Set this aside for the flavors to meld. 2.

Stir occasionally, mashing the bananas as they soften, for about 30 minutes or until the jam thickens. 5. Remove from heat and stir in the rum, mixing thoroughly. 6. Transfer the hot jam into a clean jar. Allow it to cool at room temperature before sealing and refrigerating. 🍎 Nutritional Information 🍎 - Calories: 150 per serving - Carbohydrates: 37g - Proteins: 1g - Fats: 0.2g - Sodium: 2mg - Sugar: 33g 💡 Tips and Tricks 💡 - For an alcohol-free version, replace the rum with an equal amount of apple juice or rum extract. - Enjoy this jam on toast, swirled into yogurt, or as a sweet topping on pancakes or waffles. ⏳ Preparation time ⏳ Preparation time: 10 minutes | Cooking time: 35 minutes | Serving: Makes about 2 cups
