Preserving carrots in a palatable form is the objective. There is an excess of carrots in the garden so for preservation juice is made. The carrots with a portion of the green tops is cut into small pieces and boiled for about twenty minutes and beat into a mash. For mashing a power beater is used, but a blender also suffices. The mash is put through a manual fiber separator, cheese clothe may also be used or a screen colander. The product is a juice material that is liquid enough to drink.

For long term storage at room temperature the juice is pressure canned at 10 PSI for 15 minutes. The juice may be kept at room temperature for about a year. My juices are stored in a small cold room in the basement.
