Ingredients
- 550 g carrots ( 1.1 lb)
- 250 g granulated sugar ( 1 ¼ cup)
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Peel and chop the carrots into slices.
- Add them to a pan and cover the carrots with water.
- Place a lid on the pan and boil the carrots on a medium to high heat until the carrots are fork tender.
- Use a hand blender or a regular blender to blitz the carrots to a puree texture.
- Add the sugar and lemon juice from the whole lemon and mix well.
- Return the pan to the cooker, and leave the jam to simmer on a low to medium heat for 10 minutes, making sure the lid in on the pan to avoid the jam spluttering around.
- Transfer the jam to sterilized jars and tighten the lids very well.
- Leave them to cool down completely before storing the jars away.

Notes
- When the jam goes back onto the stove to simmer, it is crucial to place a lid on the pan. Even if you set the heat on low, the jam will still splutter badly and could burn your skin easily.
- Extra care when you handle the hot sterilized jar and transfer the jam into the jar, everything is really hot and can burn you easily.
- The jam might look sloppy at first, but once it cools down completely, it thickens further, so there is not need to panic here.
