Carrot Puree Or Carrots Your Kids Will Like

Yeah, I know…they won’t eat them but this will make a difference (just like Don’s Special Beans does). It is so easy yet, tasty.

To serve 4:

  • 6 medium carrots, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
  •  1 garlic clove
  •  2/3 cup chicken broth
  •  pinch of salt
  •  4 tbsp. heavy cream
  •  2 tsp. butter
  •  1 orange, grated and juiced

Simmer the carrots, garlic, broth and orange juice, covered until the carrots are tender (15 minutes).

Puree the carrots and 1/2 the broth with the cream and butter in a food processor until smooth. If too thick, add more broth.

Sprinkle the orange zest over the carrots and serve. Yum!

Orange/Ginger Sauce

We are always looking for new and different sauces…be it for meats, desserts or breakfast fare. This is a really nice one for the Breakfast fare of pancakes or french toast or whatever you are having.

 

It is simple and takes about 5 minutes of your time to make. It can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

 

  • 1 cup berry sugar
  • 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
  • 2 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup orange juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp (generous) orange zest

Combine everything in a saucepan.  Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and boil for 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and cool down.  Pour into small canning jar or plastic container.

This is super tasty and refreshing!  Enjoy.
