What a great way to dress up the ol' carrot! Don't get me wrong ~ I enjoy eating them raw, but when it comes to company, they usually like to see them a little fancier, & this recipe does just that! Really loved the combo of anise & apricot & will definitely be making this recipe again & again! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Cookbook tag]

Delicious ! I tweeked the recipe a bit>>substituted Smuckers SugarFree Apricot Preserves and added sliced (1/2") pieces of celery to carrots in pot. We always like to have something "green" on our plates. Thanks for the recipe, "Parsley"

Tasty! A nice hint of anise and sweetness from the carrots, red onions and preserves. I used 1 tablespoon of butter which was plenty!

WOW, these are delicious! I used anise seed that I crushed a bit and the flavor was fabulous. This is good enough for Thanksgiving or Christmas. The recipe works perfectly. I cut the preserves in half because I need to save on sugars and that provided a good sweetness and far less guilt. I think this recipe is a total winner.
