Ingredients
- 2 tablespoonfuls of brandy
- 1 lemon
- 6 chopped bitter almonds
- 3 pots
Directions
1525. INGREDIENTS.--Carrots; to every lb. of carrot pulp allow 1 lb. of pounded sugar, the grated rind of 1 lemon, the strained juice of 2, 6 chopped bitter almonds, 2 tablespoonfuls of brandy.
_Mode_.--Select young carrots; wash and scrape them clean, cut them into round pieces, put them into a saucepan with sufficient water to cover them, and let them simmer until perfectly soft; then beat them through a sieve. Weigh the pulp, and to every lb. allow the above ingredients. Put the pulp into a preserving-pan with the sugar, and let this boil for 5 minutes, stirring and skimming all the time. When cold, add the lemon-rind and juice, almonds and brandy; mix these well with the jam; then put it into pots, which must be well covered and kept in a dry place. The brandy may be omitted, but the preserve will then not keep: with the brandy it will remain good for months.
_Time_.--About 3/4 hour to boil the carrots; 5 minutes to simmer the pulp.
_Average cost_, 1s. 2d. for 1 lb. of pulp, with the other ingredients in proportion.
_Sufficient_ to fill 3 pots.
_Seasonable_ from July to December.
