Sweet Carrot Jam

This jam is popular in Egypt.

Ingredients:
1 lb of carrots
2 cups sugar
3 Tbs. lemon juice
1 cup water

~Peel carrots, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces. Put in a food processor and process until coarsely ground. (You will have about 3 cups of ground carrots). Put the carrots, sugar, lemon juice, and water in a heavy bottomed 4-quart saucepan. Bring to a rapid boil, and cook for 1 minute. Lower to medium heat, and cook for about an hour, stirring frequently.
Test to see if jam is ready: place about 1 teaspoon of jam in a small bowl, put in the freezer for one minute; if jam is still runny after one minute in the freezer, it needs to be cooked more. It is done when it is no longer runny after one minute in the freezer.
When jam is done, remove pot from heat and let cool. Cover and refrigerate.
