Preparing carrots
First, mix lime with about 2 liters of water and wait until the lime is completely dissolved and the lime residue settles to the bottom. Then, gently pour the top lime water into a basin.
Next, wash carrots, peel and cut into pieces about 0.5cm thick. If you want, you can carve flowers for the carrots to look better.
Place all carrots in the prepared lime water and soak for 1-2 hours. After that, take the carrots out and wash several times with clean water to remove lime and residues..
Marinating and stir-frying carrots
Arrange a layer of carrots in a pot and add sugar. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, and marinate until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Place the pot of carrots on the stove and cook over medium-high heat. Occasionally, stir well so that the carrots are evenly coated with sugar.
When the sugar syrup is almost dry, lower the heat to the lowest setting and continue to stir until you see the sugar crystallize into a fine white powder coating the carrot pieces. Then, add a few drops of vanilla, stir quickly and turn off the heat. Remove the pot from the stove.
Continue stirring for about 1-2 more minutes to finish the jam-making process. Wait until the jam is completely dry and cool before packing into zip bags or sealed containers.

Finished product
With just a few simple steps, you can create a batch of extremely delicious and eye-catching carrot jam. Wish you success with the carrot jam recipe that Bao Minh has introduced!
Preparing carrots
After washing the carrots, cut them into slices before grating to make it easier. Next, grate the carrots into thin, long strips that are easy to eat.
Then, soak the grated carrots in the prepared rice washing water for about 6 hours. After soaking, wash the carrots with clean water to remove other impurities.
Boiling carrots
Next, boil water until it bubbles, then add the prepared carrots to the boiling water and boil for about 2 minutes. Boiling carrots for this short time helps them become softer but still retain their natural crispness.
After that, put the boiled carrots in cold ice water to cool them down quickly and keep the carrots crispy.
Marinating with sugar
Next, add 150g of sugar to the grated carrots and stir well to ensure the sugar is evenly distributed. Then, marinate the carrots with sugar for about 4 hours so that the sugar dissolves completely and penetrates into the carrots.
Stir-frying jam
Next, pour the sugar syrup into a pan that has been heated over medium-high heat. When the sugar boils, lower the heat to medium and add the carrots to the pan, then stir evenly so that the carrots are evenly covered by the sugar syrup.
When the sugar syrup has thickened, lower the heat to the lowest setting and add the vanilla tube to create a fragrant scent for the carrot jam. Next, stir quickly so that the jam can dry quickly.
Continue stir-frying for about 5 minutes until the sugar syrup is completely dry and forms a fine powdered sugar layer coating the carrots. After that, turn off the heat and continue to stir for about 5 more minutes to let the carrot jam dry completely.
Finished product
After completion, the carrot jam strips with their natural orange color along with the characteristic scent of carrots, blending with the sweetness of sugar create a unique and unforgettable flavor.
