Carrot and Passion Fruit Jam

The jam to enjoy with Léon beneath the neon lights of Pigalle. If you prefer mild thrills, look elsewhere. This one’s for grown-ups. Carrot jam?! Yes, but there’s more to it than that. Peter Rabbit’s favourite vegetable – ask around, everyone knows him – gets very cosy with luscious passion fruit. And then vanilla comes along to tease all those flavours. A jam to savour in a little hotel room, paid for by the hour, naturally.

An unopened jar of commercially produced jam generally keeps for about two years at room temperature and away from light, but not all jams contain the same ingredients. One ingredient plays a major role in how long jam keeps: the amount of sugar.
