9-10-11 Carrots

Freshly picked carrots from Billiam's garden. Organic to boot. There's nothing more full-filling than pulling vegetables from the soft morning dirt.

Freshly washed and cut carrots waiting while the water boils for the blanch. My trusty Kerr canning book says to blanch 2-5 minutes. I chose to blanch the full five minutes as I gave my carrots a big chop. The best color orange on the planet!

After the blanch and before the bagging.

Bagged and freezer ready 9-10-11 organic carrots!

I'm a total ten year kitchen slacker! Not that I'm not busy in the kitchen, just lazy to blog about it. Today I've harvested my half row of carrots to learn I need at least a whole row if not two next summer to get me through soup and stew mode during winter. And this will be the last time I write the date 9-10-11 on a freezer bag!
