Carrot Marmalade
3 cups carrots
1/2 tsp. salt
2 oranges
3 lemons
4 cups sugar
1 cup water
Peel and wash carrots. Grind or chop until fine. Cook in salted water until tender, then drain. Set aside.
Wash and peel the oranges, chopping one rind and cutting the other into small strips. Place rinds in small saucepan and cover with water. Boil until tender, then drain.
Cut the orange pulp into small pieces. Place in small bowl. Add the juice from the lemons.
Add sugar to the hot carrots and allow it to melt. Then add 1 cup water, and the lemon juice, orange pulp, and cooked peel.
Cook until syrup is thick and fruit is clear. While still hot, pack into sterilized jars and store immediately in refrigerator, using up within a week.
For variety, add 1 tsp. each of cinnamon, ginger, and allspice.
