This was a great side dish. Changed it a bit - cooked the carrots in the microwave first and then tossed them with lemon juice and brown sugar. Used some butter spray to lower the fat. The carrots were very tasty. Thanks Ma Hiker! Made for PAC 2007. -
These were excellent! I just noticed that I forgot to add the lemon juice. I also cut back on the butter and only used 2 tablespoons. -
Dh says these are the best carrots he's ever had. While I wouldn't go that far I did like them very much. I cut back on all the ingredients except the carrots and brown sugar and didn't miss the extra fat, heat and tartness. Very attractive recipe. Loved the toasted pecans-they made the dish.

I have been a member of recipezaar and food.com for years. This is definitely my go-to place for recipes and love that I can have all my individual cookbooks to sort and store recipes. ? I like to experiment when I cook and find that I rarely follow a recipe as it is written. I am also pretty health conscious and try to cook low-fat for regular everyday meals (you can't skimp on the rich stuff for holiday meals & treats!). I also avoid processed foods and use fresh wholesome ingredients whenever possible.
