What to do with garden carrots.......

Last week I showed you this bucket of carrots from the garden. We estimate that we had a harvest of about 25 pounds of carrots. What did we do with all of them?



We cleaned them and cut them up in small pieces, along with and zucchini, garlic, onions and green peppers we could find from the garden.

We steam this mixture..........


Then, I puree it in a food processor until it looks like this.....


I put them in small bags and freeze them. I will use these mixtures throughout the year to make jarred spaghetti sauce taste a little better. It also helps me get a few more veggies into the kids without them noticing. I have even added a mix, similar to this, into a boxed brownie mix. My family loves the added flavor and moisture!



We could probably even cook this down a little more and call it carrot soup.



To see what other people have tackled this week, go here......

Thrifty Thursday....

Another batch of HOT peppers for the garden. Preserved in oil. A very frugal way to stock the pantry!


This is just half of the 25 pounds of carrots we pulled from the garden. Next Tuesday, I will show you what I do with them.
