A light and colorful side dish.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1  cup carrot, grated
• 1  cup apple, grated (I prefer a tart apple like Granny Smith)
• 1⁄4 cup raisins
• 1⁄2 cup  apple juice
• 1  tablespoon honey
• 1  teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice

Directions

1. Heat apple juice to boiling, and let raisins plump in juice for 30 minutes.
2. Grate carrots and apple, and blot the apple between pieces of paper towel to get rid of excess moisture.
3. Drain raisins, reserving juice, and add the raisins to a bowl with the carrot and apple.
4. Whisk honey, vinegar, spices and two teaspoons of the reserved apple juice.
5. Pour over carrot/raisin/apple mixture and toss well.
