I had made my first pumpkin butter, and decided I wanted to make a cranberry bananna butter, and did it without looking for a recipe. It’s delicious, and a good variation.

1 pkg whole cranberries
1 cup cranberry juice (or apple juice)
one cup sugar (or more to taste)
four sliced ripe banannas.

The preparation is the same, except I added the sugar when I cooked the cranberries and banannas, then pureed, and simmered for 30 min. I don’t think you can can this, but you should be able to freeze it.

I made this and gave it to the ladies in our family for Thanksgiving. We all love apple butter and this is a flavorful twist on an old favorite. It is wonderful on biscuits – Love it! Since I only had a few tablespoons for myself, I made another double batch tonight. And I purchased some extra bags of cranberries and froze them, just so I could make more in a month or so.

Thanks for posting this recipe!

Hi Laura! Great question. This recipe doesn’t have enough acid to make it safe for canning with the boiling water method. You could add vinegar or the juice of one orange, but it will change the consistency and would need to be cooked longer to reach the buttery stage. It’s a small batch, just 12 ounces, so to make it worthwhile for canning you would need to increase the amounts substantially. I hope this helps.

Andrea – Have you ever tried canning this recipe? I am looking for something new to can and give as gifts. This sounds outrageous – in a really great way!

Thanks in advance.

I am definitely making this, Andrea. I have a 3-pound bag of cranberries in the fridge and a brand new jug of maple syrup calling my name. Thanks for the delicious idea.
