Welcome!

Thanks for stopping by Recipes From The Heart Of Your Home. Don't forget to check out the Christian resources we have linked to on the left of the page. I am a Christian wife and mother, doing my best to take care of my family and be a good steward of the wonderful blessings God has given us. I enjoy cooking for my family and doing it unto God for His glory. I love to cook from scratch when it's affordable and not too time-consuming and I especially love to bake. Lots of family and friends ask for my recipes so I've decided to put them on a blog so they can get them or anyone else who wants them. I think you can make good quality, good tasting food at a fraction of the ready-made price and it doesn't have to break your budget. Please let me know how these recipes turn out. They're our family's favorites. I'll be updating this blog as often as I can. Enjoy and God bless!

Candied Carrot Ribbons




These taste great on top of carrot cake. I will say that they didn't atleast for me, turn out looking like ribbons, but it still tastes really good!

Candied Carrot Ribbons

4 large carrots, peeled
3 1/2 cups sugar

1) Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, very thinly shave carrots lengthwise.

2) Bring 2 cups water and 1 1/2 cups sugar to a boil in a small saucepan, occasionally washing down sides of pan with a wet pastry brush. Reduce heat to medium; add carrots. Cook until carrots are translucent, about 25 minutes.

3) Bring 1 cup water and remaining 2 cups sugar to a boil in another small saucepan, washing down sides. Boil until sugar has completely dissolved.

4) Using a slotted spoon, transfer candied carrots to new sugar syrup. Discard old syrup. Let carrots stand until mixture is completely cooled. Carrot ribbons in syrup can be refrigerated, in airtight container, up to 3 days. Before serving, drain ribbons with a slotted spoon.

Are you a good person?
