Carrots in Sweet & Sour Sauce

• 400 -500 g carrots
• 1 (35 g) packet tomato soup mix
• 1 cup water
• 12 cup wine vinegar
• 12 cup oil
• 14-12 cup sugar

1. Peel and slice carrots crosswise about 5 mm thick and cook in a small amount of water and drain.
2. Simmer the soup mix and water for 3 mins then add the vinegar, oil and half the sugar.
3. Simmer 2 mins, then taste, add more sugar if necessary.
4. Pour the dressing over the hot drained carrots.
5. Cover and leave in the dressing to cool.
6. (I preferred this dish hot).
7. You can add green pepper, leeks or celery to the carrots about 2 mints before they are cooked to give constrasting colaours, textures and flavours.
8. For a low calorie version you could replace the sugar with Splenda.
