Canning Carrots
Quantity: An average of 17-1/2 pounds (wihout tops) is needed per canner load of 7 quarts; an average of 11 pounds is needed per canner load of 9
pints. A bushel (without tops) weighs 50 pounds and yields 17 to 25 quarts--an average of 2-1/2 pounds per quart.
Quality: Select small carrots, preferably 1 to 1-1/4 inches in diameter. Larger carrots are often too fibrous.
Procedure: Wash, peel, and rewash carrots. Slice or dice.
Hot pack--Cover with boiling water; bring to boil and simmer for 5 minutes. Fill jars, leaving 1-inch of headspace.
Raw pack--Fill jars tightly with raw carrots, leaving 1-inch headspace.
Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to the jar, if desired. Add hot cooking liquid or water, leaving 1-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process following the recommendations in Table 1 or Table 2 according to the method of canning used.
