I had a request for blueberry banana jam today, and tried to find a recipe but don't have one. Does anyone know one? Also, I wanted to tell those waiting for my recipes not to despair, with Xmas coming, I am making five or six recipes of sweets per day plus at least one preserve and bread, and pie and soup. I have very little time to type.

thanks for the recipe if anyone has it.

Blueberry Banana Jam

3 cups blueberries
2 cups ripe mashed bananas
7 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
6 ounces liquid pectin

Prepare lids according to package directions. Open liquid pectin pouches and stand upright in a cup or glass. Place prepared blueberries and bananas in a saucepan. Add sugar and lemon juice and simmer. Add pectin. Stir. Immediately pour jam into hot pint or half-pint canning jars, leaving ¼ inch head space. Wipe jar rims and add prepared two-piece lids. Process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath. Yield: 10 cups. [From Collecting and Using Alaska's Wild Berries]

I also have another recipe which uses powdered pectin, but the yield is lower.

I haven't put blueberries in it, but I have made banana jam a couple times and it was excellent. Off the top of my head I would say I used about 2.5 cups of sugar to 8 cups of banana smush, and added some lemon juice. I used the Ball no sugar needed pectin then. I am thinking the color of blueberry banana jam might be weird?!?
