Strawberry and Banana Jam

Cookinero 17 Mar 2025

Strawberry and banana jam can be served with tea or ice cream, baked into rolls and cookies, soft drinks and milkshakes. To prevent the jam from being too sweet, lemon juice is included in the recipe. Berries for strawberry-banana jam should be chosen approximately the same size, so that each berry is dense. Bananas should be taken without dark spots, ripe, but not overripe.
