What it is for

They do more than sweeten: they bind moisture, raise the boiling point and produce colour and crust. A jam sets and keeps because of sugar.

Where it catches you out

Each sugar browns at its own temperature. Sucrose at 160 °C, the fructose in honey and molasses at 110 — anything with honey burns sooner.

The knack

Carob flour and carob pekmez are different products; in particular, do not copy fibre values from flour.

Storage and health

How to keep it, and who it suits.

Keeping it

Keep the unopened jar in a cool, dark place for 1 year; after opening, refrigerate for 6 months.

Cross-contamination risk

Carob is gluten-free; additives and shared-line information in commercial pekmez must be verified on the label.

Allergen: GLUTEN
