Carrot Jam

  • 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.
