RECIPE 22

Golden Carrot Marmalade

      GRANNY SAYS: Carrots? In marmalade? You bet! Try this on biscuits, bread, or scones. Or use it to frost my good little scratch cake!

     

3 large lemons 1 large orange
2-1/2 cups sugar 8 oz carrots, grated
1/8 tsp. salt 1 tsp. grated fresh ginger, or powdered ginger
  • Squeeze the juice from the lemons.
  • Remove all membrane from the orange, leaving only the pulp.
  • Dice the orange pulp and set aside.
  • Grate the orange peel and the peel from one of the lemons.
  • Clean the carrots, cut off the dry ends and shred in a grater or food processor.
  • In a four-quart saucepan, combine fruit, sugar, ginger, carrots, and salt with 1 cup of water.
  • Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently, then reduce to medium heat and cook for about 45 minutes, continuing to stir often.
  • Skim any foam from the marmalade and ladle into hot clean jars.
  • Keep refrigerated and use within 1 month.

      Granny adds: Marmalade is a little more difficult to make than ordinary jam, but it really hits the spot. This stuff is good enough to use as a dessert all by itself!
