Caribbean Carrot Punch Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375F. Line a baking sheet large enough to hold the carrots in one layer with parchment paper.
• 2. Cut off all but one inch of the carrot tops. Peel the carrots. In a rectangular bowl, combine the oil, maple syrup, rum, and the spices. Adjust salt to your taste. Add the carrots to the bowl and toss them gently so they are completely covered with the marinade.
• 3. Place the carrots on the baking sheet in a single layer. Reserve the leftover marinade. Roast the carrots until they are tender and beginning to brown, about 20-25 minutes depending on the size of your carrots. Turn them halfway through roasting time, brushing them with the reserved marinade. If they start to dry out during roasting, keep brushing them with the marinade.
• 4. Meanwhile, combine the lemon juice and honey in a small bowl. When the carrots are done, remove tray from oven. Pour the lemon & honey over the carrots, turning to distribute.
• 5. To serve, arrange the carrots on a serving dish and sprinkle with the crumbled cheese and the cilantro. Can be served hot or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Peel and grate the carrots.
• Add the grated carrots to the water.
• Strain the mixture through a sieve lined with cheesecloth, gathering up the cheesecloth once the liquid has drained through and squeezing to extract all the juice.
• Repeat this process finally discarding the carrots.
• Stir the milk, silken tofu, rosewater and nutmeg into the carrot juice.
• Add cane sugar to taste.

Steps:

• Clean the carrots and grate them, or chop them into a food processor or blender. Add the water and pulse until pureed. It is best to do this in two batches. Strain into a bowl using a fine strainer or cheese cloth. Squeeze the pulp to get all of the juice. You can strain a second time if you prefer less pulp in the juice.
• Add the vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg and stir well. Add the sweetened condensed milk to your taste. Start with 1/2 a can and add until it is sweet enough for you. Chill for a couple of hours and serve over ice.

Steps:

• Mix honey and juices together. They will mix well if both are at room temperature.
• Chill for 3 hours or overnight.
• Before serving add rest of ingredients.
• Pour over lots of ice.
• Garnish with citrus slices.
