How to Make Carrot Relish

  1. Wash and peel 1 pound of carrots. Grate them using a box grater or food processor.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the grated carrots with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup orange juice, and the zest of 1 orange.
  3. Taste the mixture and add more sugar to your liking, up to 1/4 cup more.
  4. Stir everything well to ensure the sugar dissolves and the carrots are evenly coated.
  5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  6. Serve chilled and enjoy!
