Ingredients
- 1 carrot
- 1 green apple
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoon white sugar
- 1 lemon juiced
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon pectin
- 1 cup crushed pineapple
Instructions
- Combine chopped apples, grated carrot, crushed pineapple, sugar, lemon juice and spices in a saucepan.
- Cook over medium heat for 15-20 minutes, stirring continuously. Add water if the jam is drying out.
- Once the apples have softened, turn down the heat and add the pectin. Mix and cook until it comes to a boil.
- Once the jam has thickened, take the saucepan off heat and allow the jam to cool down before storing.
Notes
- The amount of water needed can vary depending on the moisture in the apples, carrots, and pineapple, so add it gradually as needed.
- Stir continuously while the mixture cooks to prevent the sugars from sticking to the pan.
- Allow the jam to cool completely before judging its final consistency.
