Made some for gift-giving. Ohhh and that trip over the river and through the woods to grandma's house went smoothly. Merry 2018 Christmas Eve y’all!!

I used Del Monte pineapple tidbits can, net weight 836g, drained 505g. I also used the liquid. It was already sweet so I added only 2 cups of sugar and 5 big ripe bananas. I cooked according to the recipe and then added 6 tsp. of pectin powder, found the conversion online. The recipe yielded 5 middle sized jars or a yummy fragrant tasty jam. Excellent on multigrain bread with ricotta.

I made this recipe last year and it was delicious. Couldn't find my recipe this year and panicked. This is it--going to make it again -- tomorrow--and made 3 copies of it.
