Banana Jam

What would you do if 24 ripe bananas are lying on your dining table looking straight at your face saying grab us before we get spoiled. Same thing happened to me yesterday when I bought banana and my husband also bought them when came from office. I was wondering what to do with all these.Well , some of them  I use in smoothies , added few in salads and finally made a jam from remaining. I tried it first time and it taste well. My daughter loved it and keep on licking till I store all in refrigerator. A very easy and quick way to prepare banana jam and a must try for banana lovers! So let’s start the recipe. Yum
