Coarsely grated carrots, raisins, canned crushed pineapple, and something creamy like yogurt, sour cream, ranch dressing, or mayo.<BR/><BR/>We eat a lot of curried carrots here. Olive oil, chopped yellow or red onion, crushed garlic, finely grated peeled ginger root, a bit of cumin, a lot of curry powder, a dash of garam masala if you have it, a touch of black pepper, lots of sliced carrots, and chicken broth to cover. Basically just a dal recipe with carrots instead of lentils (can mix and use both, adding the carrots closer to the end if you want them to be apparent).<BR/><BR/>IIRC, you can add carrots to mustard pickles. Since cukes aren't in season, you can can hot or Hungarian peppers and carrot sticks in a sweet mustard sauce.<BR/><BR/>There are chilled vinaigrettes, too, like the dill one used for string beans, that will work for carrot sticks as a refrigerator (non-canned) pickle.<BR/><BR/>How about making kimchi with half cabbage, half grated carrot? --Syl, who used to raise carrots on the farm and dealt with 200-pound carrot dilemmas!

I just got that book and that's a pattern I definitely want to try.<BR/><BR/>As for carrots, I remember doing a think when I was a kid where you took a bunch of shredded carrots, added sugar, lemon juice and raisins and mixed it all together for a sweet desert. Can't tell you much more than that from memory though....<BR/><BR/>JessicaZarzuelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04301047170674108762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15852655.post-54291368736333978362007-04-26T21:15:00.000-10:002007-04-26T21:15:00.000-10:00Choco Chip cookies!!!

They make great baby food, so if you know anyone with little ones, I just steamed the carrots, mashed them up, and then put the "mush" in ice cube trays to freeze. Once they're frozen, pop them out and put them in a big ziploc bag. Ready-made baby food! Just zap 'em in the microwave for about 15 seconds at a time, and maybe add a bit of baby oatmeal to thicken. Healthy and cheap.<BR/><BR/>You know, your carrot soup recipe sounds really good. I'm going to try that this summer when the carrots start getting huge again.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for continiuing to comment on my blog, btw. It's very encouraging!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05145855756986253836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15852655.post-88624980047095361042007-04-26T02:13:00.000-10:002007-04-26T02:13:00.000-10:00Excellent treasures and wasn't it great to get tha...Excellent treasures and wasn't it great to get that discount!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
