Carrot/Parsnip combo (creamy)

This is a different way to have parsnips and I really enjoy it. Found it at vegparadice.com The consistency is a bit strange-- (my favorite recipe, however, for parsnips is found here at another post --this is for carmelized carrots and parsnips :http://nannykimsrecipes.blogspot.com/2008/11/caramelized-carrots-and-parsnips.html )........but below is the creamy combo which is good if you want variety in your life ;-)

4 carrots sliced
4 parsnips sliced
1 and 1/2 cup water

salt
pepper
dash of nutmeg
dash of Cinnamon
1-3 tsp maple syrup

Cook sliced carrots and parsnips in water. Boil then turn to low heat for 5-7 minutes until tender.

With a slotted spoon transfer veggies to a food processor. Add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of liquid from cooking water to the processor. Process until smooth and add the above seasonings.

You can prepare a day ahead and heat in oven at 350 for ten minutes (the recipe says this--I haven't tried it. I would probably nuke)
