Carrot Cake Jam (1/2 Pint)

Small-batch Carrot Cake Jam from Stephanie at Canning in the Chaos in Flower Mound, Texas. If carrot cake and a fruit preserve had a baby, this would be it. Warm baking spices, carrots, fruit, and cozy dessert flavors come together in a jar that feels surprisingly versatile beyond breakfast.

Sourcing & practices: Stephanie creates her preserves using safe, tested canning recipes and a practical philosophy centered around quality ingredients and traditional food preservation. Whenever possible, she incorporates produce from her home garden and community sources while focusing on products that are useful enough for everyday kitchens and special enough to gift.

What to expect: Think carrot cake flavors without the frosting. Spread it on toast, English muffins, biscuits, or bagels. It’s especially good swirled into oatmeal, spooned over yogurt, layered into thumbprint cookies, or served alongside cream cheese on a brunch board.

About the maker: Stephanie started canning after discovering a love for homemade preserves and has spent more than a decade learning, teaching, and sharing the art of food preservation. Her kitchen is often filled with seasonal produce destined for jams, jellies, pickles, and other creative small-batch creations.
