Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups grated carrots
1 cup raisins
1 cup water
¾ cup white sugar
½ cup orange juice
3 tablespoons butter
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 egg
2 teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Combine carrots, raisins, water, sugar, orange juice, butter, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes. Pour carrot mixture into a large bowl and cool to lukewarm, 15 to 20 minutes.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
