My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.

Sauce - Carrot Jam

Grind 9 medium-sized carrots.  Soak in cold water for 1 hour.  Drain and cook in boiling water until tender.  Drain off all water.  For every cup of carrots add 1 cup sugar, 1 lemon sliced thin (including juice) and 1 orange.  Cook slowly for about 20 minutes until clear.

This is delicious with meat at meal time.
