Best way to use up a bag of baby carrots?
I very recently found that raw carrots and I do not get along anymore, so I have a full bag of baby carrots to get rid of before they go bad (I'd hate to throw them all away). Any suggestions?

And yes, Stephanie, they are also treated with chlorine.

Marinated Baby Carrots
2 lb. baby carrots
3/4 c. water
1/2 c. white vinegar
½ c. salad oil (I use Wesson or
Crisco oil)
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 red med. onion, sliced thin (or 1 couple of shallots)
6 cloves garlic, sliced
3 tsp sugar
Optional - ¼ to ½ cup chopped parsley or cilantro
Steam baby carrots till tender but firm. I use the microwave to do this. Cool. This is optional but it is worth it because the liquid goes inside the carrots better this way: Slice each baby carrot in 2 lengthwise. Put remaining ingredients into a container and mix (except for parsley). Add carrots, and parsley. Mix and put into refrigerator. Marinate AT LEAST six hours - preferably a day.

I would suggest giving them away to someone who enjoys them.
