- Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently.
- Add sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off foam.
- Let cool.
- To prepare each sandwich:
- When cool, spread a thick layer of cream cheese on each side of the sandwich and spread on a thick layer of carrot cake jam and close the sandwich.
- Melt 1/2 tablespoon of butter on a griddle, on low.
- Add the sandwich onto the butter and cook on medium low for 3-4 minutes.
- Using a spatula pick up the sandwich, drop another half tablespoon onto the griddle.
- Lower other side of sandwich onto the butter and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
