This is indeed very dessert-like. I only made half the recipe with steamed baby carrots and cut the sugar back to 1/2 cup. I think I will use even less sugar next time. I threw everything into my food processor and it was a snap to make. The combination of spices really does create a party in your mouth :-). All you carrot haters out there have got to try this!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a small (but growing to be very large) town in Oklahoma. I am currently a student, studying library science. I like to cook and eat, play the piano and violin, and train and play with my two dogs. I don't have a single favorite cookbook, but of the ones I use, I like BHG the most. Their recipes are usually very good. I would say my passion is learning new things--and traveling to new places. I also enjoy writing fiction. Some of my pet peeves are: 99% of the drivers in Oklahoma; people who don't take good care of their pets; people with NO TASTE; intellectual psychobabble nonsense; boring people; the list goes on forever!
