Carrots in Plum Sauce

When plums are getting toward the end of the season in September I can usually pick up a peck for a farily good price.  We eat some and then I clean the rest, pack them into jars, make a sugar syrup and can them.  You can check out how I do the process here.  In the winter I melt some butter in a frying pan, add some of the plums that I have canned and melt them down.  In a seperate pot I boil the carrots.  I add the carrots to the sauce one it has cooked down into a saucey base. D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.  My husband who is not a real fan of boiled carrots loves them this way.  What's not to love?

You can use fresh but I would lean to the more ripe ones as they will cook down a lot faster and will tend to be sweeter.  You may need to add a little sugar.  Still very delicious.  Hey, if it gets your loved ones to eat more fruits and vegetables then why not.

STAY TUNED FOR A GIVEAWAY ON FRIDAY...
