From the book by Evgeniya Dymova "The Taste of Summer". Strawberry jam... Is it possible to find those who have not fallen in love with its enticing summer taste since childhood? I decided to improvise and add an unexpected ingredient to a long-familiar recipe - a ripe Ecuadorian banana. It turned out to be an amazing jam with a delicate texture! Almost a smoothie, which is so nice to savor with mint tea. Banana perfectly sets off and makes the taste of strawberries velvety, you can also cook strawberry jam according to this recipe .
