    Notes :

    • Adding lemon juice helps to increase the shelf life of the jam. Don't skip it.
    • Make sure your kid is not allergic to beetroot before you try this beetroot jam.
    • The quantity of the sweetener depends on the sweetness of the beetroot. Check and adjust after pureeing the beetroots.
    • Use a clean jar to store the jam. If preparing the jam in large quantities, I would suggest sterilizing the glass jars.
    • Check the jam consistency by place a spoonful of jam in a plate and cool it down after cooling down. If no water separated, then it is the correct consistency for a jam.
    • You can use white sugar instead of brown sugar/powdered jaggery. But to make it healthy, I recommend brown sugar or jaggery.
    • Keep it refrigerated and consume within a couple of weeks. But it keeps well for a month if handled correctly.
    • Always check with your pediatrician before introducing any new food.
