Several years ago I donated my backyard to a local gardener in exchange for a CSA. This was one of the recipes she included with a delivery. Sage’s Café was the first vegan restaurant I know of in Salt Lake City. Although I’m not actually vegan, I love this carrot butter so much that I sometimes even make it.
