Answer 2

I know a recipe to put bananas in a jar. Like some sort of jam or marmalade. I tried once. I also have one for pineapple mixed with cantaloupe. The name of the book is "The art of preserving" this is the recipe: BANANA JAM. 4 pounds bananas, 3/4 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup lemon juice, 4 cups white granulated sugar, 2 oz. citrus pectin and 1/2 cup raisins ( optional ).

Peel the bananas and roughly mash half of them and slice the other half. Place them in a large wide saucepan and add the juices. Stir in the pectin and the sugar and the raisins, if youre using them. Mix well and place the pan over high heat. Bring this mixture to a boil, stirring continuosly and cook like this for 5 min. ladle the jam into warmed, sterilized jars and cool. Cover and seal.Leave the jam there for 2 weeks before using it.

Answer 4

I'm not sure if you are able to can bananas never heard of it but you can freeze them in their pill to later be use in banana bread,muffins,shakes and smoothies.
you can also dry bananas they keep a long time

Answer 5

It may be possible to keep the bananas from spoiling but they are so soft it really wouldn't be feasible to maintain their consistency.

Answer 6

I think it's only possible to can bananas when they are moist. Not dry. You know what, I really don't know.

Answer 8

I can't say how the flavor would be but you can can anything. The process is only designed to place food in an airtight sterile environment and you can do it with anything.

Answer 9

I have never heard anyone doing that. Very interesting question though!
