Recipe: Creamy Banana Jam

In Barcelona's Gracia neighborhood sits the 90-plus-year-old former residence of Art Nouveau architect Manuel Raspall, whose works graces the city in the forms of La Monumental bull ring and El Molino theater. Within the residence, Carlos Mayor and Antoine Leonetti have since created their own home, the Villa Mayor-Leonetti, where they enjoy making all sorts of jams and marmalades. Here, they share Antoine's recent invention: a recipe for Creamy Banana Jam.
