Carrot Marmalade Recipes 

Like a jam this sweet marmalade uses carrots to provide extra dimensions of texture and flavour for a fun topping. 

Carrot Marmalade (1)

Ingredients:

10 cups grated carrots

10 cups sugar

6 oranges

4 lemons

1 tsp each of Allspice, cinnamon and ground cloves.

Wash and peel thin the orange and lemon rind being careful not to get the inner white membrane of the rind. Put through the food chopper. Remove thin white membrane from orange sections and slice into small pieces. Squeeze the lemons and add the juice to the mixture and allow it all to stand over night. The next day, grate the carrots (unpeeled) and add with the spices and cook for 2 hours. Put in jars and seal.

(for an extra zing try adding some sliced fresh ginger root to the boiling about an hour after you start.)

Ingredients: 1 ½ lb of brown sugar. 3 cups of chopped carrots. 4 medium oranges. 1 large lemon. Water.

Directions: Chopped the carrots, oranges and the lemon. Mix with sugar.

Seal while hot.
