Tasty Tuesday - Banana Nut Butter

Tuesday, July 21, 2009
I've got nothing today, y'all. NOTHING.* My empty brain, let me show you it.

So here's the recipe for what I made on Saturday - Banana Nut Butter. I use a food processor on the bananas to ensure an even texture, since the pectin stiffens the bananas to the correct firmness after processing. This recipe will work with either the water bath or inverted jar method of sealing, and I usually let the rolling boil continue for about 1.5 minutes before pouring the butter into the jars.

Enjoy!

Banana Nut Butter

3 Cups Mashed Bananas (about 9)
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 1/4 Cup Toasted Walnuts (pulverized in food processor or chopped to desired size)
1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
4 Cups Sugar
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1 Box Sure-Jell Pectin

Yield: 7 Cups



*Except an unrequited crush on Matt Taibbi, that is, and hearing about my imaginary celebrity Seraglio is old news.
