Bumble Bee Junction Hi just wanted to let you know I made grape jelly and strawberry jam yesterday and I didn’t burn my glass top! My husband said he will get me a non glass stove if I’ll keep making jam and jelly! And I used your recipe , so you know I’ll busy for awhile canning to my hearts content!!😄 thank you for your hard work and wonderful videos and recipes!

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

ahahahaha That is so great ! I am glad to hear you are getting a new stove out of the deal... LOL Keep it up... I am thinking there might be a she-sheer-she-shed in it for ya....

[@marktoldgardengnome4110]

that's wonderful news

[@renabarnett2238]

I made 1 batch with all bananas and 1 batch with a mix of banana and strawberry. They both are AMAZING!! This will be a recipe I will use all my life. Thank you guys!

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

That sounds WONDERFUL ! So glad you had a chance to try it ! And I appreciate you letting us know your results ! Thank you again !

[@przlsc]

Thankfully, our grandmothers didn’t have the FDA telling them what they could and could not do, or we would not have great recipes like you share 🤗

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

We have a few oddball things that we can, BUT, we will never post anything we have not done for years and know it is safe... One of our goals has always been to be a reliable source of information for folks in a world of internet confusion....

I just made a batch using your recipe! My God it's good!! I used half regular sugar and half homemade brown sugar. Thank you for sharing!!!

[@jeanniewright2554]

I’ve never even heard of banana butter! The first I thought is: the smell while that’s cooking, after you add the spices, has to be like a smell of heaven! OMGOSH, the house must smell phenomenal for days! Good one!

LOL... I need to stay out of the comments section because y'all just make me hungry again... ahahahaha

[@jerriewyatt905]

I never heard of banana butter.. it really looks good.. I may try a batch of it..

It is really good Jerrie... You will not be disappointed... The first time you lick the spoon after the cinnamon and vanilla, you will be a believer... ahahaha

I finally found the recipe at the bottom that I could understand. OMG it's been a night. I started this at 9pm.

[@chris3m98]

I do not have a garden or do I do any canning! HOWEVER, you 2 have me watching your videos as it reminds me of the old days when I helped my MOTHER in the garden & helping her with the canning from 1941/1950 World War ll. Mark glad your feeling better. Tina had your back.

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

Tina is the best partner anyone could ask for ! That is for sure ! Thank you for your kind words ! I am so glad the videos have triggered those memories. And thank you for sharing them. We have so many memories tied to food ourselves, and we laugh about it sometimes, but so much of our lives are dedicated to making sure we have enough to eat....

You won't be disappointed... It is REALLY good ! If you want a smoother look you can blend the bananas on down (we like it a little chunky) and cook them to an even dark golden brown... It does not change the flavor really... It is good either way...

[@verawol3111]

I never used a copper pot for apple or pear butter does that make a difference?

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

Vera, it does... It is subtle, but if you have not tried it, you might notice the difference. The acid of the apples interacting with the steel can leave a taste (not something you would notice if you have always done it that way) and cause some discoloration (which is unnoticeable once the apples cook down. It is not necessary, but we are the other way, having always eaten it from copper. You can google it for more information, but it does make slight differences.

How long of a shelf life will this last after you do the water bath

Technically, its good as long as the seal holds, but degrades in looks and nutritional content after 2 years... We make it in small batches that only last us 5 months or so... I have stored it up to a year though...

I have some frozen bananas that are brown. Do you think it's safe to use them in this recipe or start fresh?

[@BumbleBeeJunction]

I dont think it would hurt as long as they are not rancid... You can boil them down a little harder, and use an immersion blender, and you will have a final product similar to apple butter, but with bananas... I am sure it will be delicious...
