I found a great deal on carrots at the store this week and bought 10 pounds. I am wanting to freeze them to eat as a side-vegetable latter on. Any ideas on the best way to do this? I am supposing that I have to blanch/boil them for a bit first but don't know how long. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Donna in Kansas

| Wash and scrape or wash and dice or section lengthwise. Small carrots may be frozen whole. Scald carrots 3 min & whole carrots 5 min. cool, drain and pack in vacuum bags or plastic freezer boxes or freezer jars. Seal, label and freeze. Hope this helps. |

| If you have a baby or know someone who has a baby who is eating food, you can cook some of them, mash in a blender, and freeze individual servings in ice cube trays. After they are frozen, pop out and put in a large baggie in the freezer. One cube is usually the perfect size for a beginning eater! My son loved them! |

| Babies under the age of 1yr should only eat carrots prepared by baby food makers. Apparently they are quite high in nitrates and can be dangerous for them. My daughter found this out from her well baby nurse recently . Better to be safe than sorry . |

| I bought a lot of carrots. I want to freeze them for making carrot cake later on. Can I grate, spread out on a cookie sheet to freeze quickly, then bag them? I have bags of grated zucchini bagged in the freezer that make excellent bread. |
