        I absolutely loved it, it remind me of my grandfather, he is from France and woyld make this when I was a small girl but instead of the lemon he would use oranges, he would also process it in bath water and was ok to store for a year. Thank you for the reipe, love the show!

        I made this for Xmas gifts and it tastes pretty good, just too sweet! If I make it again I will use 1 cup less sugar. I added cardamom pods as the puree cooked down for a extra boost of flavor.

        I was very disappointed by this. I was excited to make this because I thought it would be a beautiful twist on a jam. This had not hint of carrot flavor. It was tangy..I tasted lemon, sugar, and cognac...and Very Sweet! If that is what you are interested in then this is the recipe for you!
