6 half-pints

Ingredients

  • 3 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 8 cups)

  • 3 cup water

  • 1 13.5-14 ounce can unsweetened coconut milk

  • ½ cup honey

  • 2 tablespoon lime juice

  • 2 teaspoon curry powder

  • 2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In a 5-quart heavy pot combine carrots and the water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, about 45 minutes or until carrots are very tender. Drain carrots, reserving cooking water. Cool carrots slightly.

  2. Working in batches, transfer carrots to a blender or food processor. Cover and blend or process until smooth. Return pureed carrots to pot. Stir in the reserved cooking water, coconut milk, honey, lime juice, curry powder, ginger, and salt. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. SImmer, uncovered, about 30 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring frequently (if mixture spatters, reduce heat further).

  3. Ladle carrot butter into half-pint canning jars, airtight storage containers, or freezer containers, leaving a 1/2-inch headspace. Cool for 30 minutes. Seal and label.

  4. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 6 months.
