Carrot Cashew Spread



I am always looking for a spread that my kiddo will like with his snack plates.
Something for crackers or veggies dippin's
This recipe from the whole foods Market web site looked like a winner.
I Love that it incorporates good fat, some hidden veggies ;) , and a bit of natural sweetener
AND quick and easy to make.

Ingredients:
3 carrots, chopped 
1 cup raw cashew pieces 
15 dried apricots, quartered 





Method:
Put carrots into a small pot and cover by 2 inches with water. 
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
Add cashews and apricots, cover and continue to simmer until carrots are very soft, 5 to 7 minutes more Reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water, and then drain well. Transfer carrot mixture and reserved water to a food processor and purée until smooth. Chill for at least one hour.
Enjoy!
