Copper Pennies at oldfatguy.ca

When we had Heather and Bill over, we made an old dish that has been around for decades. It is one of those old recipes that use canned tomato soup. Most are kind of dodgy but this one is great. There is a reason it has stood the test of time and we feel it was good enough to make for guests. The recipe is Copper Pennies and is a dish of marinated carrots.

The recipe is below.

The Verdict

These have a sweet sour taste and a great texture for the carrots. They are great hot or cold. You can store them in the fridge for 3 weeks. They freeze great. You can see why it is a favourite recipe of She Who Must Be Obeyed and is on our table often.

Addendum: I have cooked this dish on my TV Show, You Can Make It. Here is the video.
