Best Carrots Old Family Recipes
GREAT GREAT GRANDMA ANDREW'S CARROT PIE
This is an old family recipe brought from England by my great great grandmother Eliza Griffin Andrews. You can make this all year long since carrots are in grocery stores and are inexpensive. In olden days people made this pie as a replacement for: sweet potato, squash and pumpkin because carrots matured earlier than the other...

Steps:
- 1. Combine carrots, eggs, milk, brown sugar and seasonings in mixer bowl. Beat 3 minutes. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Bake for 35 more minutes. It is done when a clean, dry knife inserted in center comes out clean.
- 2. This is similar to a pumpkin pie... but not quite. *** Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil, this helps prevent the crust from getting too dark.
CARROTS (OLD FAMILY RECIPE)
Ever eat carrots that melt in your mouth? These do (or it just seems like it). My grandmother and my great aunt both made these. The thinner the slices the better (in my opinion) Buy them pre-sliced or use your food processor (with practice)

1940'S BEST CARROT CAKE RECIPE
From Jane at Just a Pinch Recipe Club: Again, going back to my vintage recipes that have been in my family for years, I spotted an old recipe from the 40's for carrot cake. It was titled THE BEST CARROT CAKE. Well, I figured it was now the 90's at the time and was sure someone probably had come up with a better recipe since then. I was wrong. To date, I have not tasted better carrot cake ever. It's easy and the outcome is amazing.
