"Using Pomona's Pectin allowed me to make a slightly healthier version of this dessert-flavoured fruit and vegetable spread. Smeared onto waffles or cinnamon bread, it's a decadent start to the day!"

I did tweak it so it tastes identical to Carrot Cake! Once I added 2 Tbsp Steens Pure Cane Syrup & ½ tsp vanilla extract it's fantastic. I had almost 6 (½ pints it was 5 plus) so I've been eating ,well I mean sampling the extra right out of the jar...not sure if I will get to the toast or not...great recipe!

<p>Montessori teacher, nutritionist and pastry chef: baking is my passion, but teaching the value of good food to whole families is close to my heart too! I have a passion for re-instilling the love of good-quality, home-made and mostly healthy food into the hearts and kitchens of children and their families today. I believe that any ?homemade? food, even when labelled as naughty, is a more wholesome treat than pre-packaged, cookie-cutter junk.</p> 9408826"
