[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Why thank you! This is “truly me”😀 And my oh my, this jam is definitely something to get excited about! Thank you for watching! ❤️

[@hbrown4681]

I just used this jam as the sauce on a pizza and it was fabulous! I sprinkled red pepper flakes, caramelized onion, mozzarella, ham and goat cheese on top. People need to know about this.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

What?!!! This sounds amazing! I’m telling you this jam works in so many ways but I love the creative spin you added and will give they a try! Thanks for sharing!

Won't be surprised if some of the cooking shows on TV try and recruit you! You have such a professional, fun and bubbly personality.

[@ericaovoke]

I’ll be trying this tomorrow evening. I love carrot cake. So I know this is going to be amazing.

I’m delighted to discover you! I’m a retired cook of 30 years and a home chef: the latter meaning I own that kitchen. My husband finally conceded. My primary focus is always nutrition with frugality close behind. Why not apply what I learned in the profession within my own kitchen. I even have a prep board and food rotation stickers. I’m into it! It’s a happy accident to stumble across your channel. Liked, subscribed and ready to learn. Thanks so much! Gonna try the five minute bread . Oh, yeah, love the food science bits, plus yer funny. All my best

[@marthagilland6355]

I luv watching you! I have learned so much!👍

[@CamirrasKitchen]

is 1/2 cup or 1 cup of raisins right for the recipe? the book had 1/2 cup on the page, but your recipe has 1 cup. doe sthis change impact its safety for canning? thanks! excited to try this recipe! i bought some jars today!

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Loved this video and your willingness to try new things, something I’m not very good about. However, I really like carrot cake so this recipe just went on the list. I sooo appreciate that you share the ways you use the finished jam. Thank you!

[@elliephants7047]

Your dad is adorable!! Oh my gosh though, this looks *so good*. Mmmmmmmm carrot cake, and carrot cake JAM? c'mon. (however- the best part of carrot cake is DEFINITELY the cream cheese icing! maybe....maybe this might be just as good though)

[@sarahjackson2749]

I can't wait to make this. ❤

[@chaunceypullman3380]

Hi, love the recipe. Will be trying after the Passover. Especially since carrot cake is my favorite. Nothing better than getting those fresh ingredients off the land. 5th generation grower. My greenhouse boost about 40 pineapples in various stages of growth. I started my own like each of us. Seeds passed down. And that was it. You let me know how it would feel to pick a ripened tomato in the middle of a snow storm during winter. I know where my food comes from. No pesticides, sprays of any kind. Bee and wasp pollinated. The time it take most folk to grocery shop. I've walked the gardens and weeded, watered and gather harvest. You have a great series. Keep up the good work. I learned one thing in life. Govt say you can put the words none and have title organic as long as it is so many parts per million below their set number. The best proteins are on the skin that we all tend to peel of and throw away.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Your story is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing! What a legacy to be a 5th generation grower. I hope to scale to that production in a few years. Growing your own food is freedom! I agree with you about the skins of the carrots which is why I save them. Seeing the food I put up with produce from local growers I trust, is the best feeling ever as I work towards self sufficiency! Enjoy the season of Passover!

[@lizs1572]

I'm loving your channel

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Elizabeth! Thank you for saying “hello” it’s so nice to meet you! Are you a homestead dreamer too or canning enthusiast? Both?! If you’re interested in anything specific (recipe or small space gardening techniques) let me know! I’m happy to share or pass along what I’ve learned! Blessings on your week!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

You’re welcome! When I started canning a few years ago there were so many recipes I overlooked or decided wouldn’t be “with canning” simply because I hadn’t considered different ways to use them. I’m getting so much more use out of my canning pantry and hope that other canners will too! Enjoy your day!

[@JayCeeDee123]

Yum! Great video- I love the ideas for using the jam, and your dad’s taste test! Thanks for sharing🤗

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey JayDee! I’m so happy you found this useful. Every single one of these ideas is totally legit! Haha, yeah, my dad keeps it real so I had to add his reaction to eliminate all doubt this jam is delicious! Thanks for watching!!

[@nickirobinson326]

This is so peaceful. Looks Great!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Thanks, Nicki! It really is!

[@Omequa1]

I so love your dad’s reaction! I need to try this ASAP!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello, again, TheChangingFox-your comment was marked as spam so I'm just seeing it. YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECIPE! It's addictive and I'm guilty of eating it straight out of the jar. My dad's reactions are 100% authentic and he's def my taste tester and canner champion. You, your friends and family won't be able to get enough of this (and I enjoy giving it as gifts too!) :)

[@gobiggety8561]

[@JypsyCharms]

Great video! I love how you show the versatile ways you use the jam. It all looked delicious!

Hello Lky Charms! Thank you! I love showing the versatility that comes from having a canning pantry. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! 😀

[@donnamullins2089]

Your Dad is so funny. Next time bring him a spoon or some crackers. Jam has a beautiful consistency. Need this in my pantry. Thank you.

[@WorkingTowardsImprovement]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for a new video! I understand the work life KZbin balance and the quality of your video is amazing and we can see you put a lot of work into this. Thank you for adding in the additions about explaining where you got your recipes and your substations. I didn’t know that about brown sugar and honey. I haven’t heard of this canning book so definitely going to check it out. Thank you for the suggestion! Awesome video!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey Amy! Yes, I’ve been launching the blog (still under process) and its been hard doing both. I have myself some grace these past two weeks but I’ve been filming! THANK YOU for the excellent idea to include the recipe notes. I really took your feedback to heart because it just makes good sense and I want others to feel confident about the canning recipes I share. The Blue Ribbon canning book has great illustrations, is easy to read and has about 100 recipes. I’m so happy to “see” you on this video!

[@KeeKeeSoto]

My mouth is watering. Nice to meet you Cassandra!!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey Kee Kee! It’s so nice to meet another grower and canning enthusiast! Yes, his jam will make you so wrong when you wanna do right! Lol. It’s so good. I like finding multiple ways to use my home canned goods. You’ve gotta try it. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for saying hello!

Oh my goodness this looks delicious!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hands down, you’ll LOVE this recipe! Someone else shared in the comments section that they tried it on Greek yogurt. It’s so versatile-you’ve gotta give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!

[@donaldoutdoors]

Hi - thank you so much for the recipe - looks delicious and I will be making it! Just a tip for you - your yellow lemon squeezer... I'm not sure if anyone picked up on this... but you're putting the lemon wedges in upside down... the wrong way! You'll get much more juice from your lemons if you put the cut side down into the squeezer. Then press the handle and the squeezer will basically press the lemon wedge inside out getting out more of the juice! :)

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello Donald! Carrot cake jam is, whew, just delicious, and I’ve found way to many ways to use it! And, oh my-thank you for pointing that out about the lemon squeezer. You are absolutely right and I know better, I clearly didn’t catch this. 🤦🏾‍♀️ Thank you for pointing this out kindly and helping others that will read this comment!

[@nakishadeshields9078]

I really enjoy watching your channel.... you explain everything well and give me the courage to try this myself. Thank you

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

I’m so happy to hear this! You’ve got this girl! Start small then slowly add on. The only “competition” is yourself and you will start to see improvement!

[@CrabbyCatandCoffeeChat]

Cannot wait to try this but needed clarity on one thing-the ten mins for canning is for sea level correct? So for my altitude I’ll need to add five more mins. Just wanted to be sure.

[@gardennonsense]

So much for me to learn thank you for the time you take to make videos just want to say thank you and you're an inspiration for me

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Jimmy! Your kind words are appreciated. And, know that I equally appreciate you watching! Canning is my ultimate joy and finding folks like you that love the art of preservation encourages me that others still find this skill useful even in our “modern” world. Blessings to you and yours. I rotate between canning and kitchen garden videos. I’ll “see” you soon!

Thank you yummy

[@ANotiontoSew]

Oh, seriously - YUM! I use my lemon marmalade in similar ways: on steamed asparagus, on oven "fried" chicken served over lemon pasta, etc. I will be in the Baltimore area visiting my son and DIL later this month. I'll just stop by with a jar of my lemon marmalade to trade for a jar of your carrot cake jam. LOL Love your your videos. Thanks for sharing. Pam

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Pam! Good to see you again! I haven’t forgotten about your lemon marmalade and I hope to make a few jars before the influx of spring and summer produce! The ideas you shared are exactly why I enjoy making jams-they truly keep you out of a cooking rut! Yes- you’ll be in my neck of the woods, soon! The trade idea sounds wonderful, lol!

[@ChristFirstHomemaking]

Is there a way to make this with less sugar? I would like to get into canning and one thing would be jams. I am not a fan of super sweet things. My kids are just getting used to my tea (I don't use sugar, occasionally I'll use honey) I enjoy the bitter taste of tea

[@laurielyon1892]

I've made this before, but the recipe was a little different. I wish I would have known to use the honey and brown sugar. Thanks for the many ideas of how to use it because I would have never thought to use it in some of these ways.

[@emekasearthgems3376]

This looks yummy! Have you tried it with apple pectin?

[@cityfoodiefarm]

Loved your dad’s reaction! I loved all the ideas for how to use this jam. It looks soooo good! Beautiful presentation as always! Can I ask what kind of camera your using? Beautiful picture quality!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Haha, yes-my dad is a native Louisiana man so he spares no flavor feedback. Absolutely, I’m using the Sony ZV-1. I’m honestly still learning how to use all the features but it’s easy to transition from your phone to this camera (which is what I did). The pic quality blows me away too! Thanks for watching. I love sharing HOW to use canned foods everyday since I’m limited on space and need everything to perform multiple functions. I need to stop by your channel again soon because it’s sooo good. I’ve just been overwhelmed with the blog launch (in a good way, just short on time). Good to see you, lady!

[@nikkitahill4767]

This looks delish 😍 oh no I'm suppose to be slimming lol. Great vid girl 😁💕

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey Nikkita! Good to see you again! Sadly, this jam is definitely not figure friendly! But, when you need a little “umphf” to a routine meal or want to give yourself a small treat-it’s a must try! Take good care, friend!

[@WorkingTowardsImprovement]

Lol your dad’s reaction is so cute! Awesome job! For sure looks like it’s worth making after his reaction 😂 😂😂 he’s going to be asking for your stash of jars to take home.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Haha! Yes, he’s a Louisiana man so he doesn’t shy on feedback. It’s kinda unspoken that when he visits jars WILL disappear but we also do a lot of canning together and my grandma (his mom) did ALOT of canning growing up. She passed when I was young so the connection we feel to her through something she enjoyed so much is very real!

[@JessicaHolmes]

I’m coming over for dessert! 😍 This looks so good! I’ve never been a fan of carrot cake, but that’s only because I don’t care for cake in general (bring on the frosting! 😅). I love the idea of the cheese with the jam - I think that would be a crowd pleaser, for sure.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

You can’t go wrong with this jam. The spices aren’t overpowering so if you think of it as a textured pineapple, pear honey sweetened jam you’ll love it. Sometimes I get stuck in meal ruts but jams like this save the day. I was also thinking this jam would be good on top of Greek you hurt with granola or folded into peanut butter oatmeal energy bites for a quick snack or breakfast. It’s also a cute gift idea I mail to my family and a few friends. So glad you enjoyed this!

[@JessicaHolmes]

@@BecomingaFarmGirl ooh yes for sure - those snack ideas sound amazing!!! I love gifting handmade items to family & friends. I feel like it is much more appreciated.

[@lili2u405]

Hi there, I would like to make this jam today...it looks so good! Question: Do you use 2 cups of honey in this recipe or 3 cups? In the video you say 3, but your written recipe says 2. Please advise. Thank you & blessings to you and your family.🙏🏽

[@janisebennett772]

Hello ❤ I’m allergic to pineapple, what substitute would you suggest?

[@johnstockdale4002]

Question I'm wanting to make this recipe. You said in the video and have it in instructions for both cardomanon and ginger. But not listed as to amounts in recipe. Could you please clarify for me as it seems that it's missing from recipe. Thanks. Also when making carrot cake we always add a touch of nutmeg, is there a reason you don't use. Thanks very much. Looking forward to your response clarifying this for me.

[@KneppwoodatHome]

You had me at carrot cake 😋💕😊

[@markrabaja91]

do you have any recommended preservative to use? I've been searching some of it but I can't find one how about sodium benzoate??

[@katescaringcorner6765]

Hey, Cass! I love watching your videos for inspiration and technique. Your presentation is impeccable. You are a fun and easy teacher. Quick question...the bromalian in pineapple makes me anaphylactic. Yes, The part of the pineapple that makes it so healthy, I am deathly allergic. I can tell you it takes three days for that to leave where it once was. My question for you is, what would you substitute for the pineapple? . Fearing pineapple is a life long trauma for me. 😔

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello friend! You are making me blush! I’ve not tried it, BUT- I reckon substituting the pineapple with crushed oranges would do the trick. It will provides that sweet citrus punch with a similar texture and taste. Tell me how it goes!!

[@Omequa1]

Which canner do you suggest for beginners? Thanks in advance.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello TheChangingFox! for some reasons your comment went to my spam folder! Sorry for the late reply. This recipe is a water bath canning recipe so you don't need any special equipment aside from a deep stock pot. If you are going to pressure can, my recommendation for beginners is the Presto 23 Quart Pressure Canner. It's the most affordable (compared to the All American Brand which will run you 500 bucks or more...ouch) and works on glass top stoves. It heats up quick, has great reviews and its one I've used for years. It's endorsed by the USDA and NCHFP. Let me know when you take the leap!

[@carahfarthing9978]

I saw that you did this in one smaller jar compaired to the pints the recipe calls for. I am brand spanking new to canning. How does that affect things I would like to do this in smaller jars like you did for your dad or at least half pints. Any help is really appreciated

@@BecomingaFarmGirl I wanted to ask this after I finished the video but I forgot - what pectin did you use?

They have the best price and several varieties I like (garlic and herb, original, and fruit and nut toppings). Amish and speciality stores also sell “logs” of goat cheese. I love it because of its creamy texture, it’s excellent baked or cold, it’s spreadable and is easier to digest than cow cheese. Thanks for saying hello!
