I found myself with a bunch of carrots hanging out in the back of the fridge threatening to be forgotten. I am really, really trying to waste less and use more of the things that I buy. Problem is is that I change my mind between grocery shopping and actual cooking. The by product of this, this week, was about two pounds of carrots.
I usually like carrots either raw or cooked as a part of a vegetable soup. I have tried carrot soups over the years and never liked them. I decided to save myself from yet another disappointment.
How? I decided to make carrot butter. I based this preserve on this recipe. I tasted it, and found that I did like it after all. For once, I think I will get to the bottom of the carrots! I imagine this on oatmeal. Throw in some raisins, and it’ll be like carrot cake-flavored breakfast.
