Carrot Marmalade




I love carrots, and I have a lot of carrot recipes. This includes my carrot cake recipe that I have here but that's not what I'm going to share today though. I'm going to post my carrot marmalade jam recipe.
I had never thought about making a carrot marmalade before until last year when I was trying to find some new jam recipes to make. So well Googling I came across carrot marmalade recipes, I couldn't believe that there is actually a recipe for carrot marmalade. Once I made it and tried it, I couldn't believe how yummy it was. So I would like to pass it along to you and see if you like it just as much as I did.


I don't know about you, but I am having a lot of fun with Judy's choices that she has picked so far. I look forward to next week.







Carrot Marmalade

2 lemon
2 seville oranges
4 cups water
4 cups grated carrots
5 cups sugar
Directions:

1 Wash the lemon and orange and shred them finely.
2 Keep all the seeds from both, and put them in a clean new tea ball, or sew them into a scrap of          
    cheesecloth.
3 Put the canning jars in a large kettle with enough water to come to an inch above the rims.
4 Turn the heat on just after you add the sugar and carrots to the marmalade- jars must be boiled 10 minutes                                                        to be sterilized.
5 Put the lemon and orange shreds and juice in a large, broad pot with the water and the seeds, and boil for                                  ten minutes.
6 Wash, peel and grate the carrots.
7 Add the carrots and sugar to the peels.
8 Continue boiling until the marmalade is thick and forms a sheet when poured from the spoon, about 30          minutes longer.
9 Fish out the seeds, draining them well.
10 Seal the marmalade in sterilized jars and process in boiling water for 5 minute


While Googling I came across this site, did you know there is a Carrot Museum.It is packed full of all kinds of info on our beloved veggie the Carrot

  1. what would you use carrot marmalade with? I love carrots and this may be a way to get my grandson to eat them. Do you use it as a relish or a jelly? It sounds very interesting.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
