Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Combine carrots and orange juice in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. 3 Reduce heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until carrots are tender, about 30 minutes. Stir in brown sugar, pineapple, raisins, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
  4. 4 Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand to cool slightly, 10 minutes.
  5. 5 Stir in orange zest and vanilla extract.
  6. 6 Add to a food processor. Cover and process until very finely chopped and mixture is a spreadable consistency.
  7. 7 Spoon into two half pint jars. Cover and cool completely, about 30 minutes. Chill at least 2 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
