We Be Jammin'... Carrot Carrot Carrot... Three Carrot Jams

Carrot Cake Jam 

Susan Small 

Yield about 6 250 ml (half pint) jars

1-1/2 cups finely grated carrots 

1-1/2 cups peeled, chopped pears 

1 can (14 oz) crushed pineapple, undrained 

3 tablespoons bottled lemon juice 

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon EACH of ground nutmeg and ground cloves 

1 package Bernardin original fruit pectin (note from Granny-I've made this using Sure-Jel)

6-1/2 cups granulated sugar 

2/3 cups chopped toasted pecans (optional) 

1 T. Vanilla 

Large pinch Grated orange peel 

Combine carrots, pears, pineapple (including the juice), lemon juice and spices in a large, deep stainless steel saucepan. Stirring frequently, bring mixture to a boil; cover and reduce heat. Boil gently 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Measure sugar; set aside. Whisk pectin into carrot mixture until dissolved. Stirring frequently, bring to a boil over high heat. Add sugar. Stirring constantly, return mixture to a full rolling boil; boil hard 1 minute. Stir in pecans. Remove from heat; skim foam. Ladle into hot jar to within 1/4 inch of top rim. Remove air bubbles, wipe rim. Hot water bath for 10 minutes. I use sure jel and skipped the nuts. Very good
