In case you missed it, last video is out and yes you can learn to make your own jam ! Finally ! Homemade Persian Jam : Sweet Carrots & Spicy Cardamom !
I admit that at first it didn't sound very good. But coming from a land that makes tasty pies from sweet potatoes I think I'll give it a try. Obviously fresh carrots from the garden would be best.
I'm a Persian and I love this video and carrot jam by the way we have other kinds of jams that are outside of the box! like watermelon rind jam or pistachios jam!
Merci Alex! i come back to this video every year :-) 5 years now and my jam is never as thick and shiny as yours, but we still love it. i try to use the 2:1 or even 3:1 jam sugars instead so that could be why.
You keep amazing me with your boldness in trying different things. I have Persian roots. My mom used to make us lots of carrot jams. And always with cardamom and saffron. Tastes amazing. Great job 👍👏
Makes beautiful jelly! I got the canning-bug after watching this at 10pm & by 2 am I had 4 jars of the most amazing carrot jelly! :o) I added cinnamon & nutmeg (plus lemon juice for safety). A M A Z I N G! I'm planning to add this between the layers of my simple-no-frills carrot cake. Can't wait! Thanks for sharing Alex! :o)
M student of food n Nutrition.. for my food preservation assignment I made ur amazing carrot jam.. I use that self pasteurisation trick..n it's really works Amazing results thank you for the video..
Aww this is one of my favourites. My mum makes it all the time. Also you can add blanched almond pieces (stick cut). You can also just grind the cardamom into a semi-powder and add it into the jam for a fuller flavour.
Love you and your passion. I was looking for carrots jam recipe and once saw your video I knew it will be the best out there... Because you do your research first... And I trust you...
You rock Alex! I love your videos so much, and this is the third year I'm following this recipe for Christmas. Much love and a happy festive season from a real half persian! ;-)
If I died yesterday I wouldn't know that it is possible to make carrot jam! This is amazing! Especially because carrots don't loose vitamins by long cooking! I am going to make this jam tomorrow, thank you!
Hahaha! I never thought you are going to do an Iranian (Persian) recipe! :D :) Frenchie, one of my favourite Iranian (Persian) jams is sour cherry jam but there are a lot of different delicious kind of jams which you can make such as figs jam and quince jam.
yum sour cherry jam!! We used to have a sour cherry tree when I was small, it was my favorite!! I adore acid fruit in jams and sweets, like red currant, raspberries..
Great video ! ( as usual ) And i am currently doing it in vietnam ! found all ingredients ( except green cardamom, just find black cardamom so i put less) . Thanks again alex ! Greetings from hanoi !
Thank you for this recipe! I just made a batch and it's the best jam I'm ever tasted :) sadly for some reason only got 3 jars of jam from it but I'll just have to make some more :') thanks again!
Hey there French bloke with the sweet French accent :) I am persian (the original Persian version of course! :D) My mum makes this with orange blossoms in it. Have you ever tried orange blossom jam? If not get yourself to a Persian grocery and get some. Of course it won't be as lovely as the homemade one but you'll get the idea. So ... how did you come across this recipe? Do you have lovely Persian friends? Anyway, I like your channel so will be subscribing. All the best from Sydney, Australia. :)
Frenchy, after watching your videos for a good bit now I've come to realise 1 thing. That you've got an amazing talent of making things fun, easy, and help catalyse a strong intreset in cooking. BTW my favourite spice is cardamon, tea is not the same without it. Oh and saffron!? I'm sure it will be a great addition with the jam :)
A la base j'aime & j'en mange bcp d jam & marmelades ..but j n peux ps m'en passè 1jr d mangé carrot jam whichever i prépared" so healthy carrot ..orange ..miel ou cassonade..cardamome..car J l'es goutê en egypt è depuis j ss tombé amoureuse ..& yrs Alex seems so testy..thankx fr sharing with us yr recipe jam...
I love preserving, but I work with what I got. We had plenty strawberries last month, now we have raspberries and cherries, and I make jam out of them all, one at a time. Don't care if you think it's boring, I have loads of free delicious fruit!! :D The carrot jam looks beautiful, maybe I'll make it in winter when we're out of fruit, with the pumpkin one. I use regular or brown sugar, and Agar-agar as gelatin. I like the result better.
You could blend the carrots, couldn’t you? Also, I make my jams without any sugar. I use a mix of better-for-you sweeteners and add some pektin and it works great! One of my faves is lingonberries and apple jam! I like it smooth, so I blend everything before cooking.
wow I really love this! I'm looking forward to making this and maybe giving it as a gift to someone :) I love things like this with jams or sauces because it can last a long time
Yum! I love making jam. My favorite so far is a persimmon and pear jam with lemon peel and cinnamon. As for making jams I have a few questions: considering jam sugar is just sugar + pectin, if we can't find this variety what is the ratio of sugar to jam? Also, I believe citrus peels contain there own pectin so could we just add more to get the desired texture? (or would that just overpower the flavor of the carrot and other spices?)
Can you do lemon or blackcurrant curd. I get so many eggs given to me and then free blackcurrants. the curd is awesome but doesn't last so long as jam.
I’ve made it yesterday.Had a friend try it.She said it was lovely BUT she felt too sweet for her.The reason I’m commenting this way is…..If you are not a sweet tooth,you may find it sweet.She recommended less sugar and use jam setting powder.Having sweet carrots and sugar.I enjoyed making it and making more as gifts.
oh, i didnt know that. thanks. i didnt know what "jam sugar" is. have never seen it here in the States. so, if one uses just regular sugar, should he add pectin? AND, by the way, i did make this, added no pectin, but instead boiled the sugar syrup separately for like 2-3 hours until thick, and then added it to the jam. it came out just fantastic!! THANK FOR THE RECIPE!!
Very nice jam recipe.I will try it with shredded carrots so i can feel a little bit what i'm eating.I really doubt if this jam can last up to 1 year without canning it or at least be 100% sure that the jars are perfectly sterilized.Washing with just hot water and a sponge (which contain millions of bacteria) doesn't help to much.At least place them in a 130 oC oven for 30 minutes and remove them from the oveonly when needed or they will cool down too much.
the generation comment hits me hard being an Indian I am sad how my genration is slowly moving away from home cooking we need to preserve the tradition and cooking skills
Why is it so important to always use a new lid and where did you get new lids (if you don't use professional jam jars)? My mother always reuses storebought jam jars where we have eaten the storebought jam and that she has put in the dish washer, before refilling them with the new homemade preserves.
+Alex French Guy Cooking 'cause it helps so much with the preservation, that's why. Nowadays, you could go much lower and keep the jam in the fridge, for a short period of time.
You do a wonderful job at making me excited to experiment. Especially with this. Jam has been something I have been to timid to try because of the sterilization. Thank you for posting! (★^ー^★)

Not a fan of carrots nor cardamom 😊

Great work, Alex. I'm making apricot jam tomorrow, so thanks for the tip with new lids.
Great tip regarding the tea bag! Could be used for savory dishes as well. Thanks Alex! :)
Wow, look this colour!
Good colour, good flavour!
I'm a Persian and I love this video and carrot jam
by the way we have other kinds of jams that are outside of the box! like watermelon rind jam or pistachios jam!
watermelon ring jam !!! tested once amazing!!
My favorite is rose petal jam
Please share your watermelon rind jam, if you have one! 🙏🤗
@@happyface2373 me too! And of course carrot and sour cherry 😍
We make watermelon rind jam in the Southern part of America.
What an amazing recipe, I can imagine the smell in the kitchen with those spices cooking this long!!
Thanks friend :) it really was amazing (for a week haha)
Merci Alex! i come back to this video every year :-) 5 years now and my jam is never as thick and shiny as yours, but we still love it. i try to use the 2:1 or even 3:1 jam sugars instead so that could be why.
Hey Alex! I am Persian, and this recipe is amazing! You should share some more Persian cuisine on your channel, it's one of a kind :)
You keep amazing me with your boldness in trying different things. I have Persian roots. My mom used to make us lots of carrot jams. And always with cardamom and saffron. Tastes amazing. Great job 👍👏
Argh ! I wanted to add saffron so badly .... next time i guess.. Thanks for that friendly message.

Making Jam with Mummy is the best part of it :)
Love you and your passion. I was looking for carrots jam recipe and once saw your video I knew it will be the best out there... Because you do your research first... And I trust you...
I clicked play and got sold the very moment you used the 'teabag improvisation tip'. I just knew you had my thumb up
You didn't say exactly how much cardamom and cinnamon you used
+Tharoun Adamu A touch and a pinch :)
Ce qui est génial avec toi, Alex, c'est que j'ai l'impression de comprendre l'anglais !
Thanks for the Authentic Persian recipe! ❤️
I will most definitely do this recipe before the New Year. Thank you soooooo much for this recipe.
You rock Alex! I love your videos so much, and this is the third year I'm following this recipe for Christmas. Much love and a happy festive season from a real half persian! ;-)
This recipe looks wonderful. Cardamom and carrots are a perfect combination.
Incredible recipe! One I'll need to try. Well done!

Will definitely try this recipe! Looks amazing! but will substitute the jam sugar with brown sugar and honey.
Very smooth way to do product placement and get sponsors ! GG ! Keep up the good work !
I will ;)
Looks great Alexis!
This looks so interesting!!

Hi from Costa Rica and that recipe is so good , why don´t you try bet jam.
It is amazing,
Great Idea! Thanks Alex for the kitchen hack! Using tea bag instead of muslin cloth...
It's the bomb
Hahaha! LOL!
Great video ! ( as usual )
And i am currently doing it in vietnam ! found all ingredients ( except green cardamom, just find black cardamom so i put less) . Thanks again alex ! Greetings from hanoi !
Could you make a series of videos like this that cover different jams with not so usual ingredients?
Thank you for this recipe! I just made a batch and it's the best jam I'm ever tasted :) sadly for some reason only got 3 jars of jam from it but I'll just have to make some more :') thanks again!

You should also learn how to make persian Quince fruit jam it’s perfect delicious and so nutritious jam
I have to make this for christmas!
My favorite jam,my mum also add little bit saffron too :-)
noushin farhadi AGREE ! Saffron is lacking in this jam. It would make it even more delicious
;-)

A la base j'aime & j'en mange bcp d jam & marmelades ..but j n peux ps m'en passè 1jr d mangé carrot jam whichever i prépared" so healthy carrot ..orange ..miel ou cassonade..cardamome..car

Intriguing! That's not something you see very often. Even in a place like Los Angeles. I'd love to try it!
Please do. It's fresh and vibrant :)

Don't worry ! I grew up with jam and raspberry jams. And every time I can grab one, it makes me think of lovely moments spent with my grand ma.
My favorite jam❤️❤️

Love the jam love the tbag tip brilliant!
We gotta find ways to move forward. always move forward.
Well done!
lovely
Good afternoon,
This jam sounds wonderful! can you post the recipe including all the different spices you used.
thank you
sue
very good man!!!!
Looks delicious! Why do I need to use fresh lids every time? Will they not seal the jar properly?
I don't know, the manufacturer told me to. It might be related to bacteria growth...
That looks delicious!
great video!!!
Amazing, making it tommorow..m
wow I really love this!
I'm looking forward to making this and maybe giving it as a gift to someone :)
I love things like this with jams or sauces because it can last a long time
As a gift it will be brilliant : Sweet, Inspiring and Beautiful ! Such a comforting gift imo
Yum! I love making jam. My favorite so far is a persimmon and pear jam with lemon peel and cinnamon. As for making jams I have a few questions: considering jam sugar is just sugar + pectin, if we can't find this variety what is the ratio of sugar to jam? Also, I believe citrus peels contain there own pectin so could we just add more to get the desired texture? (or would that just overpower the flavor of the carrot and other spices?)
I would just make it roughly and then correct it in the next batch...
+Alex French Guy Cooking it's a simple question, but can i use "normal" pepper instead of jamaican one? :/ I don't find any of this in my country.
Oh my cat, this looks incredible
Can you do lemon or blackcurrant curd. I get so many eggs given to me and then free blackcurrants. the curd is awesome but doesn't last so long as jam.
Hello !!!! Im trying to cook your carrot jam , but i don know how much water i have to add before adding the carrots in the pan
hoda gol 1 liter it is :)
I’ve made it yesterday.Had a friend try it.She said it was lovely BUT she felt too sweet for her.The reason I’m commenting this way is…..If you are not a sweet tooth,you may find it sweet.She recommended less sugar and use jam setting powder.Having sweet carrots and sugar.I enjoyed making it and making more as gifts.
More marmalade videos, Alex !!!!! Create more recipes like this one. And share them with us.....please please please.....🙋🍒🍓🍎🍍🍉🍇
Isabelle Ortiz Yes ! that I will do
hi dude. do you add any pectin or isn't it necessary?
clarence spencer I used jam sugar which has integrated pectin in it.
oh, i didnt know that. thanks. i didnt know what "jam sugar" is. have never seen it here in the States. so, if one uses just regular sugar, should he add pectin? AND, by the way, i did make this, added no pectin, but instead boiled the sugar syrup separately for like 2-3 hours until thick, and then added it to the jam. it came out just fantastic!! THANK FOR THE RECIPE!!
Wow
Would you teach us how to make date jam
Hi! Just wondering - the self pasteurization technique (spelling?) can it be used for all jams/tomato sauces/perserves? thanks!
AmmyBelle No I think it only works with jam. Sugar goes way over 100°C and kills a lot of bacteria doing it.
I will definitely try this. Brilliant was the quick-fix, teabag idea for the spices. :)
Hey Marie ! Thanks for this lovely message
:)
***** You're welcome!
Can you write the recipes plz
Ah moi je préférais quand tu disais "tueday" au lieu de "today" correctement haha!
Merci pour tes jolies recettes!
:)
آقای الکس لطف کنید مواد لازم و مقدار آن را در lnfobox بنویسید ممنون میشم.
Very nice jam recipe.I will try it with shredded carrots so i can feel a little bit what i'm eating.I really doubt if this jam can last up to 1 year without canning it or at least be 100% sure that the jars are perfectly sterilized.Washing with just hot water and a sponge (which contain millions of bacteria) doesn't help to much.At least place them in a 130 oC oven for 30 minutes and remove them from the oveonly when needed or they will cool down too much.
My sponge was brand new for that, and I have been discussing with the brand about the whole process... But I do respect your position on that one.
Yay! finally something about Iran xD
If u can't find "jam sugar" just substitute water for apple juice
+Luis Barros Nice
How long should you preserve the jam for?
ratguy101 Unopened : Long time in a clean and cool, dark and dry place in your kitchen. Opened : 1 - 2 weeks in the fridge.
Another awesome recipe!...You know, you've got this Billy Nye The Science Guy style about you. Hehehe :D
LOL thanks :) We all love a bit of funny science
What kind of bread would you recommend to eat with it?
Morning soft and fluffy bread, or a more rustic one (sourdough)
the generation comment hits me hard being an Indian I am sad how my genration is slowly moving away from home cooking we need to preserve the tradition and cooking skills
Hello where an I get the recipie
I didn’t realize jam was so easy to prepare
Do you have a recipe book? :)
Well done Alexis! :)
A pleasure to work with you guys :)
My mum makes this (we are Persian) it's really good!
Neusha Yousefi Where are you from ?
***** I was born in england but my parents are iranian
Neusha Yousefi What dishes does your mum make ?
Fesenjoon I dont know how to spell it
Alguien q me digas las cantidades es español x favooor graciiias
"Remove your grandmas! Take her place." Hahaha
+Cortleigh Morgan That's right ! We gotta take spots, it's our duty to cook.
at 3.07 did u have a cut on your finger ?
How much water??
we need to add pectin or not?
Dorod bar shoma 🍓🍒🍋
this is way too beautiful .. it tears my granny's eyes (i mean it !!) thanks tho
I am glad she s happy about it ! Are you persian ?
yes we also make it in syria
+Nana Syrian Where are you from ?
i am from Homs syria :)
+Alex French Guy Cooking i really love the interest you show in your viewers.
Carrot is my favorite jam. My grandma always makes it.
Salute:)
Why is it so important to always use a new lid and where did you get new lids (if you don't use professional jam jars)?
My mother always reuses storebought jam jars where we have eaten the storebought jam and that she has put in the dish washer, before refilling them with the new homemade preserves.
I followed the instructions given by the manufacturer. But If you have instructions by your mom, I think it's good too. :)
You are so handsome and cook so well - i wish I could taste :) bon appétit
Isnt that too much sugar?
+Ladislav Bago Jams are often high on sugar, that's why we must spread tons of em on toast :)
+Alex French Guy Cooking 'cause it helps so much with the preservation, that's why. Nowadays, you could go much lower and keep the jam in the fridge, for a short period of time.
***** have you ever tried Persian Quince jam?
the process to make it is even easier, & it's equally delicious !!!
persianOUTKAST I've never heard of it , but would love to. Any recipe you trust somewhere ?
too runny for me.. even after 3 hours of cooking 😔 i think 1 liter of water is too much. i couldnt get the right jelly texture..
You do a wonderful job at making me excited to experiment. Especially with this. Jam has been something I have been to timid to try because of the sterilization. Thank you for posting! (★^ー^★)
It's the same for me bro'. With this recipe and this method, it s so easy ;)
