Drescription

You can’t have brunch without bagels and lox! This version is made with carrots instead of salmon, so it still has that bright orange color. —Kristyne Mcdougle Walter, Lorain, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 4 large carrots
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 4 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke
