Just finished enjoying this dish. Very easy to prepare. Has a good appearance and a great aroma. I'll probably cut the amount of jam down by about half in the future as it was a little too sweet for us. -
My friend Mirj bought me a zester on a past trip to the states so I was looking for recipes that I could use it in. Since my family likes cooked carrots, this was perfect. It was a nice change from my standard sweet carrots and I thought the jam was a great idea. I cooked for someone else in our community who had twin boys and I made this as one of the side dishes. She called to tell me her whole family loved it and she wanted the recipe. She was excited it was so easy especially after having twins.. -
Excellent and easy. I substituted peach jam for apricot jam and used lemon pepper instead of orange zest. Great combination. Will definately make again. -
My teenaged son asked for fruit with dinner tonight, so I made these. This is the first time that he ate his vegitables before anything else on his plate. I thought that there was too much nutmeg, next time I will use only an 1/8 of a teaspoon instead on 1/4. I would not change anything else about the recipe. -
Now I know how to get my Hubby to eat his carrots! Before I made this, he would only eat them shredded in a salad. I enjoyed the sweetness of this dish very much. Thanks!

This was yummy! I used my steamer to cook the carrots, strawberry jam instead of apricot, and omitted the orange zest because I didn't have any on hand. Great recipe-thanks a bunch! -

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
