I made as posted, and included the spiced rum. I didn't have enough liquid to get my carrots tender, and the spices were very intense....love these spices, but just couldn't find any carrot flavor under all the spice. So I added more broth to let my baby carrots get tender. I do recommend using this spice blend if you are trying to sell your house....the smell is fabulous! Simmer it on the stove top and your home is warm and inviting! I'll have to try this one again and adjust the seasoning a bit to suit our taste. Thanks for sharing! Made for Zaar Stars Tag.

I always like to find a new recipe for preparing carrots, & I've found one right here! Great tasting carrots, even if I did leave out the rum! Both of us really liked the red pepper flakes in this! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! [Made & reviewed in Zaar Stars recipe tag]

What a wow way to make carrots. I am not a carrot lover, so this made me happy, because they had a nice flavor, lots of nice spices and a little zing.

My son ate carrots happily tonight! I made as directed except for omitting the red pepper flakes so everyone in my family would enjoy. Thanks so much for a fabulous recipe.
