It would probably be more correct to call carrot jam carrot jam. There is no technological difference (no matter what they say), but jams are prepared in France, and jam is ours. And it was from there, from France, that the fashion came to cook not only fruits, but also vegetables with sugar.

Carrots have a sweet natural taste and are ideal for jam. Sweet taste will be accompanied by sour fragrant lemon and you will see how these products harmonize.

In the process of cooking, the carrots will become translucent, like candied fruit. At your discretion, you can leave the carrot jam in the form of pieces, partially chop or completely chop into a jam-like puree using a blender. But if you want to leave the pieces whole, choose young carrots or small-sized fruits - this will look prettier.

The consistency of the jam is very thick, and therefore it is perfect as a filling for a variety of pastries.

Ingredients:

  • carrots 300 grams
  • lemon (juice and zest) 1 piece
  • sugar 200 grams

How to make carrot jam

Wash the carrots thoroughly with a hard sponge or peel if the fruits are old. Cut off the roots and stems.

Cut the carrots into slices 3-4 mm thick and place in a small saucepan with thick walls. Send sugar there. Place the saucepan over low heat and stir lightly.

Cut the lemon into small cubes along with the fragrant peel.

Add lemon to carrots. The juice that comes out of the lemon will give required amount liquid, and therefore you do not need to add water to the jam, despite the fact that the carrot itself is not very juicy.

Cook carrot jam for 15-20 minutes. During this time, all the sugar will disperse and the liquid will turn into sugar syrup.

At this point, remove the jam from the heat. Grind carrots in syrup with a hand blender. If you decide to leave the pieces whole, proceed to the next step.

Arrange the hot confiture in sterile jars and seal. Wrap the treat in a towel and let it cool. The storage conditions for carrot jam are the same as for any other - with room temperature away from direct sunlight.

I saw this bright orange miracle in Nina Niksya's blog. From the description and photo, the New Year blew so much that I immediately wanted to run and cook. The ingredients are very simple, the result is amazing. This confiture with a pronounced citrus taste and a slight honey note will great addition for morning coffee.

Ingredients for Carrot-Orange Confiture:

Recipe "Carrot-orange confiture":

I took Ninin's recipe as a basis, but changed the quantity and proportions to my taste. Since I used pectin to thicken, I reduced the amount of sugar by 2 times, and even at the same time it was sweet to me. Therefore, if you use pectin, then you can safely adjust the sugar to your liking.

1. Peel the oranges without affecting the white part.

2. Peel oranges and lemon from peel, films, seeds. Put the fruit pulp and the zest of two oranges into a saucepan.

3. Peel the carrots, grate and put in a saucepan. Carrots are best taken juicy and sweet.

4. Add sugar, honey and water. Honey is needed as much as possible with more delicate taste so as not to interrupt the main taste of confiture. Brown sugar will give the jam an extra caramel note. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook over medium heat for about 40 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula. By the end, the mixture should be an amber-clear color. Grind the mixture with a blender until more or less homogeneous. I didn't get it at all uniform consistency, pieces of zest met and resembled candied fruit, but this, in my opinion, gave the confiture an additional piquancy.

5. Mix pectin thoroughly in 20 grams of dry sugar.

6. Put the jam back into the pan, bring to a boil. Add pectin and mix thoroughly. Boil for no more than 3 minutes, then remove the jam from the heat. Add the remaining orange zest and saffron, stir well. Cool and arrange in sterilized jars. It is better to try chilled confiture, although it is delicious hot. Carrots are not felt at all)

Carrot jam with lemon

We often prepare carrot salads, be sure to add carrots to soup, and also stew, fry or bake other vegetables with it, etc. Many dishes are hard to imagine without this orange root crop: well, what can be "" (even if it is vegetarian) without carrots? or plov? or vegetable sauté? This is all clear and familiar to us from childhood.

But what a surprise it might be when it turns out that in some countries carrots are not a vegetable at all and they cook with it not only vegetable dishes or pastries, and desserts? Plus, delicious desserts!


Yes it is. For example, the Netherlands has classified carrots as a fruit. And all this only in order to have official permission to produce and export carrot jam or preserves to other countries. How tasty does carrot jam have to be for laws to change? You can only find out if you make jam at home on your own, since you won’t be able to find such a delicacy on the shelves of domestic stores. Unfortunately, carrot jam is not exported to the Russian Federation and other post-Soviet countries. But to our happiness, carrot jam is prepared very quickly and simply. Moreover, the price of an orange root crop always remains low, and in season, a kilogram of carrots costs quite a penny.

In Italian, jam sounds like "marmelatta". Of course, when you hear “marmelatta”, a picture of sweet marmalade immediately appears before your eyes. And in fact, fruit and even vegetable jam has a common structure with marmalade: slightly gelled fruit puree, which is easy to spread on a pancake or slices of dried toast.

Advice: before cooking, be sure to try the carrots. Bitterness should not be felt in root crops. It is best to choose a small carrot, it is sweeter and juicier.

So, to make carrot jam, we need:

  • 800 gr. carrots, peeled
  • 500 gr. granulated sugar (preferably cane)
  • 1 lemon or 2 limes
  • 2 vanilla pods or 30 gr. vanilla sugar
  • 1 glass of water
