Chips of purple carrots

Chips of purple carrots imma3

Hello people!! Today I ‘m talking of food now! Today’s recipe is a winner.

Is the second time I bought  purple carrots, this year I’m looking for a lot of new vegetables that I’ve never cooked before, including these one! I stimulate the imagination! Then we are lovers of vegetables!
Recently, I was convinced that they were a cross between carrot and beet, however, thanks to dear Edvige Memento Solonico that there has always been a lots of superuseful information, I discovered that it’s a vegetable older than our carrots , which have a lot of qualities and a strong antioxidant! So that’s fine! Instead of anti-wrinkle creams … purple carrots!
The first time I bought it I made a puree but I was not impressed, so I have not posted it, this time I had the idea of cooking them as if they were potato chips,! just as we do when we make home fries with potatos and without deep fryer, the way home.

Let’s say that I do twice due at noon, but I have literally burned! oh yes it happens! I think you also Cracco little he burned something in his life! .. ahahahha …
I was too excited I have not given up and tonight I remade, among other things, we also decided to eat in a way a bit unusual, but I’ll tell you in the next episode, in order to avoid extensions.
Step straight to the recipe …

Orange Marmalade

Orange marmalade

Finally I did some of my spare inevitable jams in the pantry. I really like  jam in the morning and since it is still the season of oranges and I had never done, I tried the experiment, and it failed. A delicious taste flavored jam and accentuated by the peel.

To this I must again thank Paola, a cousin of my husband, now you know!

In fact, I asked her in the first place, in the web there were various ways of doing it. She is the only one in the family who prepares jams.

So I followed  directions, removing the peel and holding it by hand, being careful to remove all the existing white part that otherwise would give a bitter taste.

Here is the orange marmalade:

  • 500 g of sugar
  • Juice of one orange
  • 1 glass of water

  1. Carefully wash the oranges, peel with a vegetable peeler and set aside the zest
  2. Cut across the white part with a knife to remove the peel and also the inner strands that are removed.
  3. Cut the flesh into small pieces and place in a saucepan with the zest, the juice of an orange and a glass of water.
  4. Bring to a boil and after 5 minutes add the sugar.
  5. Stir often and cook the jam almost 2 ore.Put it in sterilized jars, seal very well and boil for 5 minutes.
  6. Let them cool in the water boiling.

To make it I used my usual method, which does not separate myself, since I have never had problems.

I’m interested also to other preparations of orange marmalade, I think next year I’ll try  an other method!

Bye bye
