Boil the jam gently, stirring all the time as it can stick and burn very easily. As soon as the jam has thickened sufficiently, pour it into warmed jars and sprinkle a pinch of extra sugar on the surface of the hot jam before sealing tightly and sterilizing for about 10 minutes. Keep in a cool, dark place.

Cover tightly for the first 2 minutes (so the steam will wash sugar crystals from side of saucepan) then uncover, add bananas (with lime) and boil over low heat for about 30 minutes or until thick. Stir often to prevent sticking, especially during last 10 minutes. Jam is done when a spoon scraped across bottom of pan leaves a track that closes slowly, or when jam mounds while stirring.
