We absolutely LOVED these. I made them to accompany Easter Dinner and I altered the method a bit (but not the recipe) so that I could use some of the orange sauce to baste our Easter ham. Instead of cooking it all in the microwave from the beginning, I made the orange sauce in a saucepan, doubling the ingredients so I would have enough to baste the ham. I brought the sauce to a boil, let it sit for about 15 minutes and poured half over the carrots, reserving the other half to baste. I put the carrots in the microwave and cooked them according to directions. I also added a bit of fresh dill. I didn't have any nutmeg or mace and will definitely try that next time. The carrots turned out fabulous and the orange/maple flavour really sunk into the carrots. Yes, the sauce was a bit thin, but it worked well to dip our ham in it on our plates. The sauce worked great as a wonderful baste for the ham. I basted it frequently in the last 30 minutes or so of cooking and it turned out great! This is definitely a keeper.
