Carrots

We have had carrots in our garden all winter long. They are huge. But as the spring comes the ground becomes warmer and we know that we need to get the carrots out of the ground to start a new garden. The problem is is that there are so many of them that we can't use them all. So my dear husband pulled them all up peeled them and sliced them. Then we blanched them for 3 minutes, put them in a collander and get all the hot water off of them and cool them. I usually rinse them in the collander in cold water. Put them in freezer bags, and into the freezer they go. Now to blanch something you just put it on the stove. Fill water over it and boil it. Once it hits the boiling point you time for 3 minutes. Amazing! Then you can pull them out any time and use them in about anything you would like. In stews, or just as a vegetable. In a chicken pot pie. Enjoy.
