RECIPES

Stuffed Molasses Apples

2 apples
1 cup bran
1 carrot, shredded
¾ cup molasses
half cup brown sugar
half cup sweet feed
2 sprigs of parsley or green carrot top
2 seedless green grapes
Confectionery Sugar

Core two apples and dig out as much of the center as you can, as you would a pumpkin at Halloween. Set this aside
Mix shredded carrot with bran, molasses, brown sugar, and sweet feed in a large bowl. Add more molasses or bran to give mixture a stiff consistency. Scoop mixture out of the bowl and press into cored apples.
To Garnish: drip a small amount of molasses over the top so it runs down sides of apple. Add a sprig of parsley or carrot greens, top with a green seedless grape, sprinkle with confectionery sugar, and serve immediately!

Carrot Crispies

Two carrots, shredded
One apple, chopped in small pieces
1/3 sup molasses
½ to ¾ cup bran
Triscuits (or any salty crackers)

Combine carrots, apple, molasses and bran, mix thoroughly. Scoop a small ball onto Triscuits and refrigerate overnight. Carrot crispies will hold their shape if they are kept cool.
