I canned several jars of this recipe and then was reading online that bananas are not safe to can by water bath. I processed his jam for 13 mins so I need to know if this is safe. i noticed there is no lemon juice in the recipe just pectin.

I mashed the bananas before putting them in the pan. This recipe made some seriosly good jam. Can't wait until the Grandkids taste this!! Will be great on toast with peanut butter. Thanks for such a tasty recipe!! Also it took about 10 ripe bananas to get the four cups. -
Great recipe. I sliced the bananas and used about 8 large bananas to get the 4 cups. It jelled perfectly and has a great flavor. It is sure to be a hit. Thanks for posting. -
