The banana changed color after being mashed into paste

Many fruits can be used to make fruit jams, such as tomatoes can be made into tomato jam, blueberries can be made into blueberry jam, but I don’t know if you have heard that bananas can also be made into banana jam. Since bananas are rich in dietary fiber and trace elements, their nutrients will not be lost when made into banana jam, which can be very beneficial to the human body. However, some people found that the bananas changed color when they were stirring the banana jam. What happened?

How to make banana jam

1. Cut the bananas into slices. The number depends on how much you want to make. I used four, which was just enough for one jar.

2. I saw the recipe said to use lemon juice, but I didn't have any at home, so I found a small orange and made juice instead [it shouldn't matter if it's not juiced]. If I don't have a juicer, I can just use a spoon to squeeze out the juice

3. Pour the banana and orange juice into a stainless steel pot, add water, not enough to cover the bananas [I only added another cup of water], then add sugar, depending on your taste. Although bananas are very sweet, they will become sour after cooking, so you need to add more sugar. Test while cooking, add until it suits your taste. Don't add too much at once, and cook over low heat.

4. Find a jar, boil it with water. If you find it troublesome, just soak it in hot water and then dry it.

5. Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle~~~~~ Check from time to time and stir with a spoon. Scoop off the scum on top with a spoon.

6. When the water is almost boiled away and it feels like sticky jam, turn off the heat and save! (⊙ o ⊙) [I cooked it for about 10 minutes]

7. Put it into the jar, and it's done~~ I went to the balcony to take a picture. It looks good, right~~wahahahahahahaha, I haven't eaten it yet, it should be good with bread.
