I will definitely make this again. I used carrots fresh from the garden and sliced them to the approximate size of baby carrots.

THese were really good! I have a few thoughts though. First, the carrots need to cook longer than stated (although maybe mine were just larger than the typical baby carrot). Second, believe it or not, I would have liked more ginger flavor so I think I will double it next time. Third, while the butter was wonderful and decadent I think that for those of us watching our weight it could be reduced without much impact. THanks so much for the wonderful recipe!!!

Very nice carrot side dish. Was perfect with our pan seared tuna and looked so pretty I had to take a photo. I substituted splenda brown sugar (so I used 3/4 tbsp) with excellent results. Thanks!

I guess what I like best about these carrots is the sweetness. Although the ginger taste did come thru just fine. I may cut back some on the ginger next time as it may have been a tad overwheming. But, the name is ginger carrots and so my fault or preference. Thanks Cookie, and these will be made again. Made for Jan. Beverage Tag, 08!!
