I'd cook them then give them a few pulses in the food processor. Then
package them up in 1 cup amounts in ziploc bags then freeze.

They'll be great for carrot cakes, soups, meatloaf etc.....
Puree some and add to pancake batter with some cinnamon.

Try cooking them all now, just as if you were going to cook a bag of
purchased frozen carrots. Then you can decide what to do with them.

Here is a simple soup I enjoy very much. I've used both fresh and frozen
cauliflower and carrots with equal results. We garnish each serving with
a hot Mongolian chili oil before serving.

How do you think it would be with broccoli instead of cauliflower? (I
have a huge bag of broccoli in the fridge.) Actually, rutabagas might
be closer (and certainly look better) and I've got one of those too...

Thanks,

Compost.

Not worth compromising a bunch of more costly ingredients and
expending the time and labor over a dollar or two worth of slimey
carrots.

Do you have deer browsing in your yard, I know mine will eat frozen
carrots while still frozen. When I woke up this morning (6PM) my
personal weather station said the temperature outside my window was -
8.5F, that's minus 8.5... the tv news said there was a new record set
for this date in NY's capitol region.

Move back to East Texas and that won't happen again. Frozen carrots can
used in any cooked dish you desire Bob. We grow a good bit of carrots
and I slice, blanch, and freeze them for use in soups and stews.

My favorite was when the Marching Owls band all dressed in army fatigues
with full steel pots and then drunkenly marched all over the field at
TAMU. The Kaydets went nuts trying to get on the field. I wanted to go
to Rice but couldn't afford to go at that time, really good university,
used to live a couple of blocks from there.

You know I'm an Aggie, right? :-) (Actually it sounds pretty funny now,
I dunno about 25 years ago...)

You still got yer saber and spurs? I had a cousin that graduated from
TAMU, we still let him come to family reunions but he has to sit quietly
and make no sudden moves. How many Aggie jokes do you know?

I tried this during the holidays and thought it was great (assuming
you like ginger)

http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/...t&rsc=header_3
Ingredients

Serves 8 to 10

* 6 bunches (about 2 pounds) baby carrots
* Salt
* 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
* 2 two-inch pieces fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
* 3 tablespoons honey

Directions

1. Trim stems of carrots to 1/2 inch. Peel carrots, and wash stem
area.
2. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Salt water, add carrots,
and reduce heat. Simmer until carrots are almost tender, 3 to 4
minutes. Remove carrots from heat, and drain. (Carrots can be
prepared earlier in the day to this point.)
3. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
ginger, and saute, stirring, until transparent, about 2 minutes. Add
carrots and honey, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until carrots are
glazed. Serve immediately.

They should probably still juice just fine.
