Carrot Candy Preparation
From: elayne@usa.pipeline.com (Elayne Cohen) Date: Tue, 9 Jul 1996 22:35:33 GMT The color of carrots symbolizes prosperity. In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine carrots and l/2 cup water. Bring to a simmer over low heat; cover and cook slowly until soft, about 30 minutes. With a potato masher, mash the carrots and any remaining liquid. Stir in sugar, orange juice and lemon juice. Return to a simmer over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, until a thick paste forms, 50 to 60 minutes. Stir in ginger and cinnamon. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Sprinkle a small cutting board and rolling pin with water. Turn carrot mixture onto the board and roll into a l/2 thick rectangle. Sprinkle generously with sugar. Let stand, covered with cheesecloth or a towel, for one day, until the top feels dry. Cut into 1 wide strips. Turn and sprinkle the other side of the strips generously with sugar. Let stand, covered with cheesecloth or a towel, for another day. Turn the strips daily, until the candy is dry, up to 4 days. After the strips feel crisp, cut into 1 diameter squares. Sprinkle again with sugar. (Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.) Yield: About 30 candies.
