Thanks.

Yes.  I had a vague idea that I might do this for all the tables, but I
just didn't have time.

Not really.  I let the paste chill a bit in the fridge before I worked
with it.  Then I let the carrot air-dry for a couple of days.  While it
was still on the softer side, I used various implements to give it the
right texture.

Food processor.  I added a few drops of water so the dried apricots
would be pureed rather than chopped, and so the sanders would
blend well.

The purple is food coloring.  On another occasion, I might try
berries or other natural colors.

Jadwiga can testify that just before we left the house I was
muttering, "Where's the camera?  Olwen will kill me if I don't have
pictures!"

Our barony has recently invested in new serving gear.
