Banana Butter

3 cups (about 10 medium) bananas
1/4 cup lemon juice
6-1/2 cups sugar
1 bottle (6 ounces) liquid pectin

Thoroughly mash bananas. Measure 3 cups bananas into a large saucepan. Add lemon juice and sugar; mix well. Bring to a hard rolling boil; boil hard one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; quickly stir in pectin. Ladle into clean, hot jars. Seal.

Makes 8 or 9 half-pints.

I have added 2 drops of yellow food coloring to a batch. It is good as a sauce on ice cream.
