Really, it turns out good? I keep looking at this recipe wondering how on earth it would work. But really, it tastes great? It doesn't turn brown or anything? Okay, I'll have to give it a go. It would definitely make an interesting gift!

I had really thought it would turn out more like a butter kind of thing, but it really is like a Jam! It didnt turn brown at all! I did get the fruit fresh and used that. Even after processing it, the heat didnt turn it brown from cooking it or anything. Its awesome!

I am really surprised at it. Really.I kept thinking that I was going to mess it up. I have never made jam or jelly before. I am so pleased with myself.

Excellent idea for the 2 bags of bananas on my counter that I had gotten to dehydrate and haven't gotten to yet.

I have not had it turn brown, either. It is so good ! I am watching for markdown bananas.
I can, you can, too !

Holy cow, I sure missed this one. Glad it popped back up because that sounds so good. Now I just have to watch for nanners on sale.

I made some Banana Nut bread Jam in '09 and about the top 1/2 inch has turned brown but it tastes fine and we are still kicking!

Could I make this with bananas I have frozen that were really really ripe?

I have a couple of questions. Under the list of ingredients at the 6 cups of sugar it says (see tip below). What is the tip?

Also, can bottled lemon juice be used or do I need to buy some fresh lemons?

Oh, their tip was just about leveling the sugar off when you measure it.

Yes, use bottled lemon juice. It is actually safer to use anyway, since it is normally stronger in acid than the fresh lemons.
I can, you can, too !
