  1. Easy and quick to make! I lightly steamed the carrots then proceeded with the recipe. The orange zest was added after the carrots were transfered to a serving platter. The sauce was good on everything! Oooh, yum! Here's my menu so I don't forget for the next time: Recipe #14255, Recipe #329327, Recipe #75915. Reviewed for NA*ME Tag.
     
  2. Anna, simply delicious. These were awesome, the dh ate these first off his plate and then asked if there were any more....High praise indeed my friend, as he hadn't even touched his meat yet. These tender, juicy, flavorful carrots, were perfectly sweetened and spiced, the butter sauce was the bomb. Love, love love the combination of brown sugar, butter, orange rind and cardamom. Wow was this good. I have placed this in my Favorites Cookbook for 2012...Kudos my friend and thanks for sharing another winner. Made for My 3 Chefs - 2012.
