Unusual carrot jam - an original recipe for making carrot and orange jam.

How to make carrot and orange jam.

We take large, sweet yellow carrots. The yellow variety is sweeter and crunchier than its orange or red counterparts.

Wash the carrots, peel them, cut them lengthwise and cut out the core. We use it for other purposes; the core is not suitable for our jam.

Cut the prepared part of the carrots into oblong pieces like pasta, put it in a basin, fill it with water and cook it until it becomes soft.

Then, put it in a colander and let the water drain.

We continue further preparation of the jam; for this we prepare syrup from water (1.5 cups) and sugar (600 g).

For 400 g of prepared and cooked carrots, take 100 g of candied orange peel. Place them in boiling syrup and cook for half an hour. During this cooking time, the carrots should become translucent and the syrup should thicken. If you do not observe the above, then you need to continue cooking the jam.

At the end of cooking (about five minutes), add the juice of one orange.If desired, or in the case of small oranges, the amount of juice can be increased.

Delicious, healthy and beautiful carrot jam is ready. Pour it into prepared jars and close. We store it in a pantry or basement.

Such original preparation for the winter is a troublesome task. But on cold winter days, drinking tea with such unusual jam is a pleasure. And pies with such carrots turn out great. When you are ready to make carrot jam, leave feedback about the recipe in the comments.
