Perfect Xmas Jam

Christmas is approaching fast and it's about time that I publish the recipe for the Perfect Xmas Jam. Xmas because it tastes like & perfect because is contains only half as much sugar as standard jam. Let's start with the ingredients:
  • 500 g carrots (no joke)
  • ½ litre of cider (unfermented)
  • 300 g sugar
  • 2 pinches of cinnamon
  • 100 g almonds, ground
  • 8 g agar-agar
Steam the carrots and mix them in a blender. Fill the carrots with the cider in a pan and bring to a boil. Add sugar and keep boiling until the sugar is dissolved. Dissolve agar-agar in cold water or cider and add to the mixture. Keep boiling for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add cinnamon and almonds.

Fill the jam to the brim into glasses. Put the covers on and turn the glasses on the top until they are cool.

Three weeks ago, together with Jeanpi I made 80 litres (or 400 glasses). It's great. Try it.
