This recipe was different and tasty. I don't think I would want to have my carrots this way every time but it is a great change. And very festive, would be great when you need something for a holiday meal or a fancy dinner. I only made 1/2 a recipe because it's just my DH and myself at home now, and I really didn't think he would like it. I wish I had made the whole recipe, HE LIKED IT!

This is a very festive way to prepare carrots - delicious! I actually strained all the raspberries as much as I could when making the sauce and didnt' add whole raspberries in the sauce - was a little more work but eliminated seeds in the sauce. This would be great to make for the holidays. Thanks for the post! ZWT 3
