Simple, no-frills dessert, with few ingredients, a wonderful color and very easy to make! Be careful because it may be eaten away fast...
Grate the carrots on a coarse grater or cut them into julienne (sticks) on a mandoline slicer.
Put the water, grated carrots, cinnamon and cloves in a saucepan and let them boil for 10 minutes.
Then add the sugar and vanilla and let them boil until the carrot softens and our syrup thickens.
Once it is ready, add the lemon juice and let it boil again for 1-2 min and our dessert is ready.
Fill sterilized jars with the dessert, close the lid tightly and place them upside down on a towel until they cool. (this is called canning and helps preserve them)
