Carrots and Raisins (Healthy Snack)
"This came from my mother who managed to grow two kids taller(and I mean taller!) then herself. We ate these carrots all the time! Overall is a great snack that is tasty. I suggest to adjust to your taste, some like it soggy some not, just don't make it in advance, will lose the carotene ;) Make sure to exclude raisins if prepared for infants or toddlers under 5. Use your own judgment but raisins ARE choking hazard."

ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 1⁄4 cup raisins
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 -3 teaspoons sugar
directions
- Place raisins in a small amount of water, so they plump up a little. (this step is optional) Grate carrots on a smallest part of your grater.
- Combine grated carrots, sour cream, raisins (take them out of water prior) and then add sugar (adjust to your taste).
- We love it just the way it is and my l'il one gets his nutrition.
- Beware, this combination may make your kids grow few inches taller. Carotene with sour cream and sugar is a dangerous mix for your kid's growth potential.

Most of my family enjoys this recipe. I'm not much of a raisin fan, but I still think it's pretty tasty! -
I thought this was surprisingly good. I will add more raisins next time. Hubby was unimpressed, though. He doesn't like carrots much. -
Handy little recipe. I don't like carrots or raisins much but could eat this. Husband liked it. -
What an unusual combo! I loved it! I used light sour cream and sweetened with Splenda. Thanks for the recipe! Great way to use up carrots (and great reason to buy more carrots!) -
This is great, it reminds me of the carrot-raisin salad at Chik-Fil-A... I also used splenda to sweeten. Definitely a keeper!
