Cardamom Carrot Nut Jam

By attosa

Cardamom Carrot Nut Jam on yogurt in bowlThis is an exotic Persian twist on a typical jam, using carrots, cardamom, pistachios and almonds. The ingredients are known to be crunchy in their original state, but when cooked down, they turn almost honey-like. You will love this jam for your toasts, and even drizzled on yogurt. I love to give these as gifts!

Banana Popsicles with Whipped CreamOne of the best toppings for a banana Popsicle is whipped cream. You can put vanilla wafers crumbs in a bowl and sprinkle them on top. The taste is reminiscent of banana pudding and can't be beat for simplicity and fun.
