Gorgeous purple carrots sweetened with cranberries and honey make the perfect condiment for a cheese platter.
Servings: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 medium red onion, peeled and diced

- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 1 bay leaf
- 100 mL apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup honey

Instructions
- Toast cumin and coriander seeds in a dry frypan until you can smell the aroma. Crush seeds with pestle and mortar, or flatten with a rolling pin or the back of a wooden spoon.

Notes
Any colour carrot may be used.
If you don't have cranberries, substitute with another dried fruit, such a raisins or chopped dates.
Try making the jam with different spices such as fennel seeds or mustard seeds.
