This is also known as Angel Hair jam because of its appearance. I'm posting this in response to a request. It makes about three pounds.

Ingredients

2 1/2 pounds grated carrot grate lengthways for best final effect)
4oz grated ginger
8 floz white vinegar
grated rind and juice of two lemons
1/4 pint water
4 tbsp honey
2 tbsp ground coriander seeds
1 tbsp salt
3-4 small chillies
3 tbsp flaked almonds

Method


1. Mix everything except the almonds and the chillies in a bowl and leave to stand overnight.
2. Bring to the boil and simmer for twenty minutes, then boil hard for ten to fifteen minutes until thickened.
3. Grind the chillies and add them and the alomnds to the mixture.
4. Spoon into hot sterilized jars.
5. Improves with aging, and lasts up to two years.

I've just made this recipe, very nice - I'm looking forward to it aging. I particularly liked the colour and texture.
Do you use a course or fine grater?
