Banana Butter

3 cups (about 10 medium) bananas
1/4 cup lemon juice
6-1/2 cups sugar
1 bottle (6 oz) 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.
