Peanutty Carrot Sandwich Spread

Submitted by flower7

"I had some shredded carrot to use and was thinking it would be tasty with peanut butter...after a quick search, I came up with this tasty morsel. Adapted from a cookbook by JoAnna Lund. I've also made this with chopped dried fig in place of the raisins; dried cherries or cranberries would be good too."

I used chunky peanut butter and the orange marmalade - very tasty! This is really fresh and was terrific on my toast. Made for Best of 2011. Thanks flower7! :)

Made this with extra chunky PB & orange marmalade, then was a bit generous with the raisins! Absolutely delicious, & another time, I want to make a much larger batch to have on my finger food counter when I host one of my next monthly gatherings! Thanks for the great keeper recipe!

I made this for a light lunch and it was perfect! Because I was out of bread I used the cracker option and it was perfect! I have eaten PB and carrots before but using the marmalade just takes that over the top and makes it feel more grownup. Great combination! Thanks flower for a nice treat for myself at lunchtime!
