put the sugar, lemon juice and zest into a large bowl and stir until the sugar has almost dissolved.

cover the bowl with plastic wrap and leave to marinate for 1 hour
scrape the banana mixture into the preserving pan and place the sugar thermometer inside.
place the pan over a low heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
