1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
3 cups granulated sugar

Transfer the mixture to a large saucepan and add the granulated sugar and fruit pectin. Stir constantly over medium heat until it comes to a boil.
Once boiling, cook for 1–2 minutes while stirring continuously until the mixture thickens slightly.

Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
Ensure pineapple is well-drained to avoid excess liquid.
