For a change of pace from berry jams, try this unique option. Spread on a bagel with cream cheese, it tastes almost as good as real carrot cake!—Rachelle Stratton, Rock Springs, Wyoming

This looks like a great recipe but you need to include the times for different altitudes!!! Like in my area all jams and jellies need 10-15 minute processing times. Taste Of Home you should know better!

I made this but added 1 cup shredded coconut and 1 cup raisins to the batch.I boiled all the ingredientsand coconut (except pectin) for about 20 min. until carrots and pears were soft then added in raisins for another 10 min. then used liquid pectin per box instructions at a rolling boil. I found that if you don't boil carrots till soft it has a rough texture. Served on bagels with cream cheese...delicious!
