• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot and add 1/3 of the ginger to each. Pack carrots into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace.
• Slowly pour hot brine over carrots, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Slip in additional carrots if space allows; check headspace again and add more brine if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot. Cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. Sealed jars are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

A PIRATES BOUNTY $$$$$ CARROT COINS $$$$$

Steps:

• Wash and peel carrots, and slice into coins.
• Wash and squash then cut into slices.
• These two steps are easy to do if you have a food processor or mandolin.
• Peel and slice both onions into strips.
• In a bowl mix the coconut milk, salt, pepper, brown sugar.
• In a large zip lock baggie add the carrot, squash and onions and pour the coconut milk mixture over them. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Be sure to toss the bag every 20 minutes or so.
• While the carrot mixture is marinating, mix the soup, vinegar, turmeric, cumin, allspice and tomatoes together and cook till it is thick, and reduced by 1/2 on a low heat.
• After that time drain the carrots, squash and onions very well. Some of the coconut milk will remain on the vegetables.
• Then add the carrots, squash and onions to the tomato mixture and cook for about 10 minutes on low. You'll want to stir this often. Cook this longer if you like your carrots softer.
• Before you serve top with toasted coconut if you wish.
• HOW TO TOAST COCONUT:
• There are two ways you can do this:
• 1.Place the coconut on a pie pan and toast in the oven on 375 till it is all golden. I can't tell you how long this will take, because it depends on your oven.
• 2.On a dry non stick sautéing pan, put the coconut in it and toast on a very low heat. This is the method I used. If you use this method, please do not walk away from the pan....and stir this often.
