How To Make grandma rose's carrot pie

• 
  Step 1
  To make carrot pulp : Peel and slice 3-4 lb. of carrots ; (I have used the baby carrots and don't have to peel or slice ) put carrots in a kettle with enough water to just be level with the carrots ; Add 2 Teas. baking soda ; it prevents too much foaming when cooking.
• 
  Step 2
  Boil carrots until tender ; Drain.
• 
  Step 3
  Run carrots through a food sieve (cone) to make the pulp. This will remove any bad pulp you don't want ; like missed peel and the stringy texture in the carrots.
• 
  Step 4
  Mix up all the above ingredients in a large bowl.
• 
  Step 5
  Pour into a prepared raw pie crust.
• 
  Step 6
  Bake on center rack in a pre-heated oven @ 350 deg. for 45-60 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean when inserted in the center . Cooking time varies depending on your oven. Let pie completely cool before serving.
• 
  Step 7
  Note: I double this recipe and get 3 pies when using 9" deep dish frozen pie crusts. I cooked up 15 pounds of baby carrots and got 12 pies out of all the pulp.
