Fantastic carrot jam, which can serve as a spread on bread or for some cakes and pies if you make. It is very easy to prepare, and I recommend that you make it and put it in jars for the future, which are full of vitamins that we really need throughout the winter. This jam is great for all types of desserts. Sterilize the fruit with baking soda and water, standing for 24 hours before making. Follow recipe.
Ingredients: simple, total time: 70 min.
500 g carrots
80 ml of water
180 g of sugar
1 sachet vanilla sugar/10 g
2 lemon peel and juice
50 ml cognac or other liquor/optional
sterile jars and lids
Preparation:
Wash and clean the carrots and cut them into smaller pieces.
Put them in a deeper pot, sprinkle with lemon juice, and pour just enough water to cover the carrots. Cook the carrots until softened for about 20–25 minutes at a moderately moderate temperature and partially fold.
When the carrots have softened, strain it well, strain it through a vegetable machine.
After that, put the carrot cream in a deeper pan, add sugar and grated lemon zest.
Return the pot to the heat, cook over a slightly moderate heat, stirring constantly, until you get a thick and homogeneous mixture.
When you have the right mixture, turn off the heat, leave to cool. Then add the liqueur, stir and pour into sterile jars, close with an airtight lid, make jars wrapped in kitchen towels. When the jars have cooled, leave them in a dark and cool place overnight.
