Carrot Jam

[veggiechicken]

Just played the guessing game with Dai the Jam, our local jam maker! He gives me a spoonful to taste and I have to guess the ingredients - and this one had me completely foxed.
Bright orange/apricot colour and the texture of apricot puree, but the predominant flavour was orange.
Apparently its a wartime recipe using carrots and orange zest. I wondered whether anyone here had made it - well recommended

Grated Potimarron skin in apricot jam give a very orange colour too!

Squash 'Potimarron' (Winter) - Pumpkin, Squash & Courgette Seeds - Thompson & Morgan

...bet that would also work well with orange jam!

He said it was a Wartime recipe and then went on (and on) about Dr Carrot and RAF fighter pilots' eyesight!
I've found this recipe that may be it
Carrot Jam Recipe - Sauce & Pickle Recipes. I can ask him again in a couple of weeks when I next see him.

There are some interesting veggie jams here Vegetable jam recipes | Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall | Life and style | The Guardian
BTW, last week's taste test was raspberry and chilli jam. Think raspberry with a kick

Made Mrs Beeton's carrot jam - but no-one would eat it, so in the end I gave it away.

No one is adventurous here (except me, that is )
