Delicious carrot cake jam with carrots, pears, pineapple, raisins, coconut, and warm spices. A taste of homemade indulgence!
Ingredients:
  • 1 (20 ounce) can unsweetened crushed pineapple in 100% pineapple juice
  • 1.5 cups chopped peeled ripe pears
  • 1.5 cups shredded carrots
  • 0.5 cup flaked coconut
  • 0.5 cup raisins
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
  • 6.5 cups white sugar
Instructions:
  • In a large pot over medium heat, combine crushed pineapple with juice, pears, carrots, flaked coconut, raisins, lemon juice, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender, for about 15 to 20 minutes.
  • 1. In the hot pot, stir in the pectin until well combined. 2. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. 3. Add the sugar and bring the mixture back to a rapid boil. 4. Boil the jam for 1 minute, stirring continuously. 5. Remove the pot from the heat and skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
  • Fill the hot, sterilized jars with jam, leaving a 1/4-inch space at the top. Use a clean knife or thin spatula to remove air bubbles. Wipe the rims clean, then seal with lids and rings.
  • Position a rack in the bottom of a spacious pot and fill it halfway with water. Once boiling, carefully lower jars into the water, spaced 2 inches apart, using a jar holder. Add more boiling water if needed to ensure the jars are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Cover the pot, allow the water to return to a rolling boil, and process for 5 minutes.
  • Place the jars on a cloth-covered or wood surface, ensuring they are a few inches apart. Let them cool undisturbed for at least 12 hours. Confirm the seal is tight by pressing the top of each lid with a finger. Store in a cool, dark area.
