Here is a picture of orange marmalade and banana nut bread butter.  Guess which is which...ha ha. 

The original recipe from Sure Jell calls for:

3 cups of mashed, ripe banana (about 10)
1 tsp. lemon
1 box of pectin
1/2 tsp. butter (to stop foaming)
4 cups white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 cups walnuts                                                The Changes
                                                                                         -----------------------------------
                                                                          add pecans and raisins
1 1/4 tsp. cinnamon                                       1 Tab cinnamon Tab                                             
1/4 tsp. nutmeg                                             1 tsp. nutmeg

When I made it, I thought it was lacking some sass.  So I make mine with a few changes. 

Like...1 cup walnuts and 1 cup pecans.  Plus a 1/2 cup of raisins chopped up real good.  I raised the spices to 1 Tab. of cinnamon and 1 tsp. of nutmeg.  Otherwise, I do the rest the same as Sure Jell says on the insert.  It tastes real good in oatmeal. 

Cook banana mash, lemon juice, pectin and butter (optional) until it boils.  Add both sugars.  Cook until boiling hard.  Add nuts, raisins, and spices.  Cook one minute.  Process in water bath canner as usual for size jars and altitude.
