It’s the time of year for cranberries! Buy a bunch now and put them in the freezer. Or, better yet, turn those glowing berries into jam and save your freezer space for something else.

This year I made Cranberry Banana Jam. No pectin! And it’s great on toast and pancakes and ice cream.

If you’re looking for a nice holiday homemade gift–this is it!

How to make Cranberry Banana Jam: Printable

5 cups cranberries [or a bit more, if your package is bigger]
1 1/2 cups water
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3 cups sugar
1/8 tsp cinnamon

Put cranberries and water in a pan, bring to boil and when the berries start popping, turn the heat down a bit and mash them some. Add the bananas, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Don’t be surprised when this disappears fast.

    This sounds yummy! And I just happen to have 3 over-ripe bananas in the bowl, and cranberries in the freezer. Think I’ll try it! Thanks!

    I love making jam and actually have some men in the house that will eat it, so I just maybe have to make some also.

  3. aprilejoi says:

    Is this canned water bath or pressure canner?

  4. Robin from Rurification says:

    Hi aprilejoi,

    If you’re pressure canning it, then use the directions for your canner. For water bath and steam canners, process 10 minutes for pints and jelly jars.

  5. brookdale says:

    Robin, can you freeze this jam instead of canning it?

  6. Robin from Rurification says:

    HI Brookdale! This should freeze just fine but the bananas might discolor. I’d freeze a bit first and see what happens. If it looks fine, then go for it.

    I have tried the corn cob jelly and rhubarb orange, now this is my next one to try. Your jam recipes are so wonderful!
