Can I preserve all this or is it too late?? Canning Bananas! 5 ways to preserve bananas!

[@toysintheclosetshop5443]

🍌 A local church has a Food Distribution twice a month. Everyone welcome. There are always plenty of bananas. A friend was telling me that she canned bananas so I was excited to find your instructions. I always just froze them but my freezer is getting full. I'll be canning bananas today. Thanks!

[@paulinehancock9818]

Trying to make room in my freezer for other things so I thought I would take all the frozen bananas out, thaw them and can them, never having heard of canning , I found your video. Thanks so much for this!! Wish I could find a deal on Bananas like you did. What a blessing!

[@debbienielsen368]

🍌🍋Jara you’ve hit another home run with these recipes!! I was wondering how you get free bananas! I want to try these, especially the strawberry-banana jam and the canned banana for bread. Thanks again!

[@wickedprepared]

Hey Debbie! Thank you so much! Our Save-a-lot grocery store puts out big boxes full when they have a lot about to go by. They always used to sell them for $1 but lately they've raised it up to $1.50, its still a great deal. This time I got these from some ladies I know who do a produce rescue of sorts around here, they arranged with another local grocery store to pick up boxes of produce that the store is getting rid of because it's going by. They bring it to a local church and people can come pick what they want from it. It's twice a week and they usually let me take everything that's left over for our ducks, chickens and compost! But I try to make use of anything good the best I can before I dump it!

[@danniemcdonald4903]

This is awesome! I don't eat a lot of bananas but do like to make a loaf of banana bread every once in a while. This seems like the perfect solution! I agree that Strawberry Banana Jam should be sold. Strawberry Banana Jell-O is one of my favorite flavors. Thank you so much for sharing your recipes, 🍌

[@wickedprepared]

It's so good! Thank you for watching!

[@babsgilbert518]

🍌 Thank you Jara, I love the idea of canning the bananas for baking another day.😊

[@wickedprepared]

You are so welcome!

[@timgloeckner9260]

Wow, I never thought about canning bananas.. 🎉😊😊🍌🍌🍌🍌 Stawberry banana jam sounds yummy!! 🍓🍓🍌🍌 Awesome stuff Jara as always ❤❤ Yes I used banana peels to help tomatoe blossom end rot by spraying the liquid from the peels. ...

[@wickedprepared]

So good! Thank you Tim!! 😊

[@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah]

Well, i had aalready put my bananas in the freezer thst i got super cheap. We dont even eat them now bc we went keto a few years ago, but i thought they'd be good canned in some way for the pantry shelves. Thanks for the recipe ideas! Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

[@conniebertucci3432]

I was googling can I can bananas? And your sweet face turned up... Thanks for the info and recipes. 🍌

[@barbarad.517]

This is awesome! Thank you for this! I just downloaded the beautiful recipes and I’m ready to print and get canning!

[@wickedprepared]

That's awesome! Hope you enjoy!

[@deborahjennings4119]

I haven't made strawberry banana jam in many years! Made the best peanut butter sandwich! Guess its time to do a batch.

I use strawberry tops to make strawberry vinegar 😊

[@wickedprepared]

Thank you so much! Can't wait for you to try it out 😊

[@FreedomLovingNana]

🍌❤ That looks amazing!! I have never canned bananas. But I am definitely inspired! Strawberry banana yum!! And monkey butter, can’t wait! Amazing gift idea. Thank you.

[@wickedprepared]

You're welcome! Thank you for watching!!

[@sharonnm6799]

I haven’t water bathed tomatoes/fruit in 22 years but you have inspired me to dig out my enamel canning pot and try some banana-strawberry jam and mashed bananas. They will make a nice addition to my pantry. Thank you 🍌🍌

[@wickedprepared]

That is awesome! You're very welcome and I'm so glad to hear that! 😊

[@tammyinwv1]

I have homemade bourbon vanilla. I bet the tropical monkey butter would be good using that

[@wickedprepared]

Omg yes!!

[@ravenlaughs9757]

The 3 quarter pint jars are used for dilly beans, asparagus, pickles or relish. You can use them for what ever you want they are mason jars.😊

[@wickedprepared]

💯

[@danniemcdonald4903]

Thank you for mentioning that you ordered the 1 1/2pint- jars from your hardware store! I just checked and my local Ace Hardware has them! But WOW, have they gone up in price ($17.99)! I have one case but will go and get another one (or two). They are great for canning soups and stews. I had read a while back that Ball had stopped making that size. Glad to see they brought them back.

[@wickedprepared]

I feel like all the jars have gone up in price 😞 I was able to get a good deal when I got mine by using a welcome offer for setting up an account! I already had an account so I made one for my daughter 😬 it was a percent-off coupon so I got 5 cases but I'm already running low 😭

[@rettl.9720]

WOW! I’m impressed! I never would have thought to do any of these…thanks for sharing all you hard work. ❤🍌

[@wickedprepared]

You are so welcome!

[@pisgahfarms6241]

Smash them and throw them in the freeze dryer to make a shelf stable banana powder for banana bread

[@GardeningWarrior]

I've never thought to use the freeze-dried bananas to cook with-duh..thank you!

[@stephaniecurtis4249]

🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌 just my luck someone gave me two bunches of ripe bananas! I was actually looking to do something like this! Thank you, I know this took a lot of effort to put together. I love that you show us, it can be done! ❤🍌

[@wickedprepared]

That's perfect timing! 😊 I'm glad to help! Thank you for watching!

[@carolledger8047]

Where can you pick up your free bananas? Great video!

[@gloriaelswood8762]

I love bananas! Never heard of strawberry banana jam but want to make some! Where do you get bulk pectin? I hate paying full price at the store.

[@sandijammes7761]

🍌- awesome video... LOTS of good ideas. Thanks!

[@wickedprepared]

Glad you liked it!! Thanks for watching, we appreciate you!

[@andygirl98-Lbk]

🍌🍋Thank you for these recipes and how to's 🍌🍋

[@lostnspaces01]

With your strawberry banana jam, did you have to de-bubble it? I didn’t see that step. New to canning so unsure of when not to de-bubble and when to do it. Thanks!

[@susans9491]

🍌Gteat video! I make banana jam, monkey butter, and I bake a lot of banana bread. I’m a fan of freezing bananas for banana bread but am excited to find a deal on bananas and try canning some up!🍌

[@candragammon8069]

Would I be able to use pineapple I canned last year?

[@dianeiverson3727]

I looked for your banana bread recipe but couldn't find it. Do you have a link pointing to your banana bread recipe? Thanks! And thanks for this idea - I have tried freezing bananas but didn't like the dark brown color over time.

[@AthenaCreamer]

I’m really enjoying your channel and buy about a third of my groceries at Dollar Tree and 1/3 at Dollar General and 1/3 at Target or Winn Dixie! Definitely want to copy some of your recipes. Btw, Have you ever heard of Pimmecan?

[@lostnspaces01]

With your strawberry banana jam, did you have to de-bubble it? I didn’t see that step. New to canning so unsure of when not to de-bubble and when to do it. Thanks! How long will chocolate chips or peanut butter chips last if I just put them in a jar and remove the air?

[@katherinedillow7681]

One thing, my kids and my grandchildren really like, I peel the bananas, cut them in half and add a popsicle stick in the end of them and freeze them after they froze for a few hours I heat up peanut butter with a little bit of honey in it some of them I dip in the peanut butter and refreeze them some of them I don’t. After those of frozen again I take them out and dip them in melted chocolate. Some of them I sprinkle with a little bit of hazelnut some of them. I don’t some of that peanut butter on them some just chocolate. And freeze them up all separate when they’re getting frozen and wrap a little saran wrap around them and put them in Ziploc bags. They make a wonderful treat during the summer. And if I have a lot of bananas, I freeze them the same way, but if they have a little bit of brown on them or not, and I freeze them in vacuum seal bags depending on how big they are maybe 4 to 6 bananas in each and use them later on to bake with.

[@wickedprepared]

Those sound like great ideas! That's definitely something my kids would enjoy too. Thank you so much!

[@katherinedillow7681]

@@wickedprepared one thing for sure, we were taught never waste food. Find something to do with it. Freeze it Can it dehydrated. That’s one thing for sure my children will tell you they never did without food. I found someway to fix it and prepare it to where they would like it. but I was lucky my children were very good eaters. Hope you have a nice day.

[@conniewach7872]

You are amazing! Thank you so much! 🍌

[@wickedprepared]

Thank YOU! That's so kind of you! 😊

[@kimgapeach]

🍌🍌 I have never canned any thing with banana before but will most definitely be doing the strawberry banana jam and the plain banana jam. I'm not so sure on the mashed bananas tho. How about blueberry banana jam 🤔 I'm going to have to look in to that.

[@wickedprepared]

I think Blueberry banana would be great! I'm always looking for new ideas, maybe I'll try that next time I get a box!

[@DianaCrowell-u6o]

Can you use frozen strawberries for the strawberry banana jam?

[@wickedprepared]

I'm not sure but I don't see why you couldn't if you stick to the same measurement!

[@shawnclark7326]

I'm a banana lover and that's a great score! I would love to come across a big box of "bad" bananas. Do you ask the store if they have any? Yummmm, pineapple banana bread, I'll have to make that! 🍌

My husband loves bananas in all stages and form. I HATE bananas, unless slightly green in its natural state.
