Recipe Introduction
Be warned that this recipe although simple, takes a while to cook. Also, you will need a heavy bottomed pot to cook this in otherwise you will have a particularly tough cleaning job when you are done.
List of Ingredients
4 pounds carrots, cleaned and grated
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter
1/2 gallon milk
1 cup chopped walnuts or sliced almonds
1 cup raisinsRecipe
Makes 12-15 dessert sized servings. In a big heavy pot heat milk to boiling. Reduce the heat to low and add the carrots. Cook until liquid is almost gone, stirring every 10 minutes or so to prevent sticking and burning, about 2 hours. Add the butter/margarine and cook another half hour, stirring often. Add the sugar and nuts and cook until all the liquid is gone and the mass does not stick to the sides. Add the raisins, stir a couple of times and turn of the heat and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving. The halva will keep for a week in the fridge. Heat before serving.
