Hawaiian Bananas for Canning

12 green bananas
2 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 cups sugar
6 teaspoons butter
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves
6 cinnamon sticks (1 to 1 1/2 inch)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ginger
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Peel and slice bananas in 1 inch chunks and add to boiling syrup-all at once. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes-stirring very gently. Ladle into sterilized jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet.
