On a peanut butter sandwich - soft white bread, chicken noodle soup and potato chips. Feed that to my grandkids 😊

So pretty! I love watching the fog. This recipe sounds AMAZING!!!

Finally made this. Awesome!! Definitely a keeper! Thanks for the video. Had to buy the canning book this was in and found others I liked.

Frugal Abundance Cranberry-Tangerine Spread pg 37 from the Better Homes and Garden Canning book is awesome! Used orange juice instead. I made this when I made Cranberry sauce from the Amish Cookbook. So good!

The fog was amazing! Interesting recipe. My kids would have loved this when they were young.

Ok well thats what i do lol🤗 ill enjoy viewing more canning vids tho stay sweet

[@eckankar7756]

I've made this. I used Vanilla extract rather than the bean and added it just before canning to not cook away. I also substituted 1/4 cup of sugar for 1/4 cup molasses and added 1/2 teaspoon of banana extract. I roasted the pecans for 15 minutes prior to use.

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

Great tips! Molasses sounds like a great swap, and I can imagine how it subtly change the flavor.

[@shellyrees7946]

Definitely make the filled cinnamon rolls!! that look really good! I'ma trying this for sure!

[@joseymc2]

Thanks for the misty fog. Makes me long for my homestead. 😌

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

You had so many good ideas to use the banana butter. I would like to see the rolls with it too. I really enjoy you and you seem like a really sweet person. Thank you for sharing the recipe!------------Tressa Daigle

[@cherylgeller7235]

where is the recipe?

[@kellyf5190]

Looks yummy! I would love to see you make the cinnamon rolls with this!

[@Maremoooo]

Great video! And yes many days those days happen here too!

[@shashb6519]

How is this different from jam / marmalade please?

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

Sorry that this has taken me so long to respond. It is called a "butter" as opposed to a jam or marmalade because jams and marmalades require the juice of the fruit that you are making them from. Since bananas don't have juice, this becomes a butter. As far as consistency goes though, it is going to have more of a jam type consistency. Hope that helps!

[@trishroberts4487]

Am I missing something? How much mashed bananas? How much lemon juice? How much pectin? Where is the amount of each ingredient? I'd like to make but I have no idea what I'd be doing. HELP!!!

[@trishroberts4487]

Okay, never mind. I found the recipe..

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

Sorry Trish, I just saw your comment! Hope you enjoy the banana butter. Because it was a copyrighted recipe, I couldn't share it. I am glad you were able to find it.

[@BurntStone]

Trish send to me please or tell me where to find it

[@trishroberts4487]

@@BurntStone Sorry, but I made it a year ago and I don't remember. I'll look for it for you.

[@conniewach7872]

I look the same way with the hot canning jars. Lol!

[@Bee-Kind-Baker]

6 cups total of sugar for 12 bananas??

[@joannedonovan9489]

Cinnamon Rolls ... yes!!

[@cherylgeller7235]

How do I get the recipe from your site?

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

Hi Cheryl. The recipe is not on my site because it is copyright protected by Better Homes and Gardens. However, if you search for Brown Sugar Vanilla Banana Butter Better Homes and Gardens, I think you will find it in a few places. ;)

[@saralamb4498]

what if you have no lemon?

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

You need an acid to help your pectin come together and to have the right ph in the jar. You could probably get away with using white vinegar, but I can't say how it would change the taste. I know there are jam type recipes that use vinegar.

[@pamelacox6034]

Vanilla ice cream!

[@Bee-Kind-Baker]

Don’t bananas contain enough of their own pectin? This is the first recipe with bananas, that I’ve see call for pectin

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

While the name of this recipe is "Butter", it is more of a banana jam. The banana pieces are suspended in jam, so no I don't think that there is enough pectin in the bananas for this to turn out without the pectin (I am a big fan of not using pectin for most jams and preserves, so I understand where you are coming from). This is a recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens Complete Canning Guide, and not my own recipe. If you were using a lower sugar pectin like Pomona's, I am sure that you could reduce the sugar. I hope that answers both of your questions. Thanks for stopping by!

[@Jenn2004kuz]

Oo maybe on some french toast

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

Yes, it would be delicious on French toast!

[@BurntStone]

Recipe please in writing, anyone?

[@tammybreaux9489]

The recipe would have been nice but no worries

[@AliciasInTheKitchen]

I understand where you are coming from. Because it is a published recipe, I can't put it on my channel because of copyright. Where you can find the recipe I can't link to, because it is not a link, it is a virtual preview.
