Oriental Carrot Jam Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of carrots, peeled and grated
• 2 cups of sugar
• 1/2 cup of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of finely grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom

Instructions:

1. In a large pot, add the grated carrots, sugar, lemon juice, ginger, cinnamon, and cardamom.
2. Stir well and let it sit for 30 minutes so that the sugar dissolves and the juices are extracted from the carrots.
3. Place the pot over low heat and cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. As the mixture thickens, stir more frequently to avoid burning it.
5. When the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency and the carrots are tender, turn off the heat.
6. Let the jam cool for 5 minutes.
7. Using a food processor or immersion blender, blend the jam until it is smooth and consistent in texture.
8. Transfer the jam to a clean glass jar with an airtight lid.
9. Store the jam in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
