When I tasted this jam, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven - it's THAT good! I gave a jar to my brother, and he said it was the best jam he'd ever tasted! Really easy to make, too. (But let it start to set before you put into jars, or the banana floats to the top!)

I've made this jam for several years to give as holiday gifts. My friends eagerly look forward to it--and some even place "orders" long before cranberry season arrives!!

This is the yummiest jam I've ever tasted! This was my first attempt at canning anything and it was so easy. I used a waterbath canner and processed the jars for 10 minutes in it. The amazing thing about this jam is that it really, really, really does taste like strawberry! This is perfect for my stepdaughter who is allergic to strawberry but loves the taste of strawberries! I would let it set for about 3 minutes before pouring into jars just because my first poured jar had the banana and jelly part seperate a bit, but all the rest were perfect, so I'm thinking the pectin just needs a moment to set before you begin pouring. If you mash your bananas up well, it mixes just fine, and comes out a lovely rosy red color perfect for the holidays! This is a great first recipe for someone who has never attempted a jam before.

Great taste and easy recipe. I found it to be a bit too sweet so I may cut the sugar next time. Also, I didn't taste banana at all. I thought this jam tasted more like strawberry than cranberry - maybe because it's so sweet? Also, after the initial 10 simmer of the cranberries, they were still mostly whole so I mashed them up with a spoon. Maybe that's the difference? Possibly, if I had left them whole, I would have gotten a more tart taste and would have been able to distinguish between the banana and the cranberry. But, since I mashed the cranberries, they just blended with the bananas and created a strawberry taste. Overall a good, quick and easy recipe.

This is such a beautiful jam that if it didn't taste so well, I would never open it! But the taste is so good I can't resist! I am wrapping these up for Christmas gifts ... makes 5 half pint jars. I was not sure if I would like this recipe because I am not crazy about cranberries but I am sure glad I tried this recipe out!

I absolutely ADORE this recipe! I had never tried making my own jam before, so chose this one because it sounded easy -- I never expected it to be so delicious! When cranberries are out of season, they can easily be substituted with raspberries (fresh or frozen), which also taste amazing with the banans.

I was so happy to find this recipe my mom used to make forever ago! This jam is terrific. I used wild cranberries which tend to be more tart and it turned out perfect!!

I made this as Christmas gifts and it was wonderful! The cranberries calmed the banana flavor.. it was sooo good! It reminds me of eating banana bread. The recipe was easy to make and I loved eating it on toasted english muffins with a little cream cheese. The picture showed doesn't do it justice!

We have enjoyed this recipe since 2002. It is excellant and beautiful to give with its sparkling red color. My family asks each Thanksgiving if I will make 2 batches of this to have for the holidays and give as gifts.
