Beetroot Jaggery Jam

🌈HOMEMADE BEETROOT AND JAGGERY JAM with NO #whiteSugar. 

I am not much of a jam person. But how long can you keep your little ones away from this sugar loaded stuff. 🙆

So decided to give homemade Jam with no white sugar a shot. And the mission was accomplished when my little one tasted it and gave a thumbs up!! 😍😍👍

💪💪Beetroot and Jaggery are both #Iron rich foods. These 2 foods are esp good for kids with Iron deficiency and also helps to improve #hemoglobin. 

#Super_easy_to_make #Ready_in_30_mins

🌈Recipe: makes roughly 120gms. ➡️Check pictures for #STEP_by_STEP recipe. 

🔸Ingredients: 

* Beetroot: 2 medium

* Jaggery: 1/2 cup (depends upon the sweetness of Jaggery. For me little less than 1/2cup was sufficient)

* Pure Vanilla extract: 1 tsp (❌No essence) Must add. Gives a wonderful flavour. 

* Salt: a pinch

* Lemon juice: 1 tbsp

* Water as required 

🛑Method: 

1. Chop beets and wash. Boil beets in minimal water till they are fork tender. Sieve the beets and retain the leftover water. 

2. Blend the beets to a smooth puree. Use the leftover beets water to get a smooth puree. 

3. Put the puree in a heavy bottom pan. (Avoid aluminium pans). 

4. Add 1/2 cup water (use leftover beets water), Jaggery & Vanilla extract.

5. Bring it to boil. Cover and cook on low to medium flame. Stir occasionally. 

6. Cook till it becomes thick and gets a jam like consistency. Keep checking. 

7. Switch off the flame. Add lemon juice and mix well. 

✅Setting test to see if your Jam is ready:-

⭕️Place the jam on a cold plate. Let it cool. Tilt the plate, if the Jam falls rapidly, it needs more cooking. If it holds it's shape, it's done

🔷Store the jam in a sterilised glass bottle. It will last you more than a month when refrigerated

🔷Add Lemon juice to avoid crystallisation and also lemon juice will act as a natural preservative

🔷Be careful while stirring. The bubbles might splash on you

🔷Do not cook after adding lemon juice

A Pound of Butter (Honesty)

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting the right amount, which he wasn’t. Angry about this, he took the farmer to court.

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure to weight the butter. The farmer replied, “Honor, I am primitive. I don’t have a proper measure, but I do have a scale.”

The judge asked, “Then how do you weigh the butter?”

The farmer replied;

Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker

Moral of the story:
In life, you get what you give. Don’t try and cheat others.
