Merry meet all,
The approaching Imbolc Sabbat is cause for celebration! I am including some recipes that you can enjoy with your family, friends and coven mates. I hope you enjoy them.
Candied Carrots
Carrots. are important for our health. They contain beta-carotene, help in cancer prevention, and aid with night vision. They also contain essential vitamins for our health. They are also a coloured vegetable, which we also need for health. Carrots are a root vegetable of sun and fire. My guinea pig/ familiar Magic loves to eat them!!
Ingredients:
- 1 lb., raw carrots, cut into 1/4′ circles
- 1/2 stick butte
- 1/4 C. Brown sugar
- Salt and Pepper
- A dash of ground ginger
Preparation:
Melt the butter over low heat. Once it’s melted, add the carrots, sauteeing until they get light in color. Add the sugar, and mix until dissolved. Allow the carrots to simmer over low heat for a few minutes.
Add the salt, pepper and ginger to taste. The ginger adds zing to a sweet recipe. Serve as a side dish at a potluck.
Bacon and Leeks
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of bacon (available at a local farmers market and spare of harsh hormones and chemicals)
- 3 fresh leeks, chopped
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves of garlic, chopped

Fry the bacon and drain off excess fat. Remove from pan, and chop into small pieces. Return to pan, and add garlic, leeks and onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste. When the onions are clear, remove from heat and serve scooped onto warm, fresh bread.

Imbolc Incense
Ingredients:
- 2 parts cedar
- 2 parts frankincense
- 1 part pine resin

Add the ingredients to the mixing bowl. Measure well, and crush leaves with a mortar and pestle. Empower the ingredients with your intent. Charge the herbs with an incantation. Store the incense in a labeled, dry and sealed jar. Use within three months, so it remains charged and fresh.
Enjoy!
