Here is a recipe for bannana butter:

If you like apple butter, try this version using bananas, cherries, and golden raisins. Use as a condiment for chicken and pork or as a spread on toast, breads, and biscuits.
Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups (about 10 medium) mashed bananas
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped maraschino cherries
  • 1/4 cup chopped small golden raisins
  • 6-1/2 cups sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon fresh-ground nutmeg
  • 1 bottle (6 ounces) liquid pectin
Preparation:

Place bananas, lemon juice, cherries, raisins, sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Mix well to combine. Bring to a hard boil and stir constantly for 1 minute. Remove from heat and immediately stir in pectin.

Ladle banana butter into sterilized hot jars and seal.

Yield: about 9 pints

I have not tried it so you can let us know what you think!
