Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups shredded carrots -- finely shredded-raw
1 orange
2 lemons
2 cups sugar -- approximately
3 cups water -- approximately

Place orange and lemons in warm water 10 minutes to get maximum juice. Peel
orange and lemons and save peel. Running a knife sideways accross the peel
remove as much of the white pith as possible. Chop finely in blender or food
processor. Squeeze orange and lemons to get 3/4 Cups of juice. (it took me an
extra orange) In a bowl combine juice, carrots, orange, lemon and
peels.Measure this mixture and place in an 8 qt. sauce pan. For each cup you
measured add 1 cup of water and 2/3 cups of sugar. Add to mixture. Cook over
medium heat till almost all liquid is gone. This takes maybe an hour or so,
it will reduce by about 2/3.Fill hot sterilized half pint jars, leaving 1/2 "
head space. Cap jars properly and process in boiling water bath for 10
minutes. Makes about 3-- 1/2 pints.
